Abstract
- The article from Horse Illustrated explores the science behind blanketing horses during winter. It discusses factors such as a horse's natural coat, thermoneutral zones, weight, health, hay use, shivering, and ear checks to determine when to blanket a horse. The article emphasizes the importance of observing individual horses and being mindful when deciding to blanket, as over-blanketing can have negative consequences. The information provided aims to help horse owners make informed decisions about blanketing their horses during cold weather. [Extracted from the article]
