Blanketing Your Horse
If you have body clipped your horse, keep in mind that you have removed his only protection against cold temperatures, wind and rain. He needs his winter coat, or something in place of it, to protect him from harsh winter elements. You must be prepared to blanket your horse on a regular basis if he is clipped.
