FW: [RC] re: to blanket or not (& cross training) - Curtis, Laura \(LauraCurtis\)
I, too, totally agree. I grew up at 10,200'
elevation--we never blanketed our horses. I now live in south central
California, and in my opinion, folks out here are way too quick to
blanket. The winters out here are like summers where I grew
up!

I agree 100% with Diane and Heidi. I was shocked that you would
consider blanketing a horse at 50 degrees.
Here in wonderful Wyoming it's 28 degrees F with a light breeze at 8:30
AM. Yesterday I rode my gelding about 6 miles fairly fast and up and down
a steep hill. Never occurred to me to blanket. I walked him in
(me on foot) the last 1/2 mile like I always do.
