Horse Blanket
- Under severe cold I provide a blanket (below 10 degrees F for multi days) other wise she developes a coat that will take her through a New Englang Winter.

it really depends
- it really in my opinion depends on your horse. Weither or not they are on field board or stall board makes a big difference. how thick is they coat, i've seen some very puffy thouroughbreds as well as not, most ponies also puff up more then hores to. all in all it really depends on your personal situation.

Don't Blanket
- The easiest way to avoid problems caused by blankets is not to use them. Most horses don't need them anyway, unless they are old or sick etc....
