Is it to early to start blanketing?
I have been putting a heavy weight sheet (not blanket, sheet) on my horse because he hasnt gotten too much of a winter coat yet, and since just a few days ago it was almost 100 degress and now its not that cold at night, but with the wind chill its been pretty chill, ive read that anytime weather changes that abrupt like this you might want to for the first few nights, but then someone at my farm was saying that im actully hurting my horse by doing that becasue if i put a sheet on him at night when the temp drops in the 40s and its so windy, that hes not going to get a winter coat then.
i probably wouldnt even put it on him most of the time, but just cause its been not just a little chilly at night, but you throw in that wind chill, i was bundled up in blankets =)
