RE: [RC] Blanketing...was New to sport too - Diane - Rae Callaway

Hoo, yeah, Heidi.  You definitely wouldn't want my Scarlet and I know she'd
hate it up there with a passion, but I bet most of my herd would learn
pretty fast how to grow a super coat for winter - ESPECIALLY if extra feed
came with it!  Kinda makes me wonder how much Scarlet being a finicky eater
has to do with her lack of coat now.  hmmmm.

Best thing in response to cold weather is LOTS of feed, and add some protein
for the heat of digestion.  I know lots of folks in Texas who don't have to
blanket when that occasional ice storm and week of "real winter" hits--their
horses handle it just fine with an increase in feed.  But that said, there
ARE occasional individuals that just can't hack it, for whatever reason.  Am
sure glad I don't own one!

I did buy one of those unfortunates that was being kept as a hothouse plant
one time.  We picked him up in February or early March, and had to keep him
blanketed at night until April or so.  But that was 6 years ago, and he
hasn't worn a blanket since, except when tied to a trailer at rides.
