I am hoping that if I describe my winter riding
activity if I can get some advice on blanketing or not
blanketing my horse.  I have a big indoor and a
slightly warm barn and will be doing training this
winter indoors, ie. sweat work.  The horses are on
daily turnout and do get inspected daily and blankets
will get straightened when they are put in for the day
if needed.  My friend has said to blanket so I do not
have a hairy beast will help him not to sweat so much
during a workout and then a cooler after working out
will keep him dry and warm.  I have never blanketed
before but then again I have not had an indoor to ride
in either or training to do.  I live in MN so you can
imagine just how cold it gets! Not to mention the
snow/rain/sleet crud.  In this situation would
blanketing be advised?  Thanks, Amy
