I'm a big believer in "it depends on the horse" - one of mine grows a very fine, very downy winter coat that doesn't hold heat well and the other horse won't let him come into the run in. He gets a sheet at 40F and an actual blanket once it gets below about 34. The other is an absolute woolly mammoth. He gets a sheet if it's raining, and a blanket once it drops below 25 or so (we live in the south, so that's the temps my horses are acclimated to. For them, if it drops down into the teens, that's *really really cold*. They're also both getting up there in age, the wuss is 19 and the fluffy one is 26ish).
The only real answer is that you need to adjust to your individual horse’s needs. You’re totally right. People sometimes forget that animals are just as diverse as humans.
We don’t normally blanket, our younger ones they grow a nice winter coat hold wait nice to the winter and keep their bodies warm but our older ones we blanket they drop way easy don’t get that nice winter coat it really just depends on the horse exactly what you said
When I was a new horse owner, I asked one of my long time horse owner friends if he blanketed his horses. He turned around and said, “ does your horse have a COAT?” 😂 EDIT: Please stop getting so bent out of shape and ugly about this comment. I live in the south, where nobody blankets their horses and I wanted to share something funny my friend told me. This is NOT an attack to you!
Only one of my nine has a blanket, lol. She's having a hard year this year with keeping weight on, she's missing some teeth and getting older so for her she needs the extra help, the rest, have their shelter, and are doing fine with their natural coat. love your funny videos!
Here in Canada we have to have three blankets for each horse 😂 and if we ride them on a -35 day we gotta check if they are sweaty and if they are we gotta blow dry them until their bone dry 😭 or else they will get sick in the cold 🥶 it’s really takes a lot of time after lessons 😓
Wow, this is so true. When my family got our first horse, we were shocked by the strong and conflicting opinions from various communities in the horse world! 😅 Many years later when we had figured things out and both we and the horses were comfortable with our routines, we had a Karen come pounding on the door yelling at us that she would report us for "blindfolding" our horses during a particularly buggy summer. I'm not sure she ever fully grasped the concept of a fly mask... But thankfully she calmed down when we showed her that you can definitely see through them! 🤦♀️
Ugh mine wears one year round because she's had corneal abrasions and an ulcer. We do it to keep her from getting another one (She's great at keeping them on so I stock up around the holidays) I'm sure people think I'm insane but it's fairly windy here and I had a vet advise that basically all horses here should
"Thermal Regulation".... A horses natural , God given ability to regulate their own heating and cooling. Here in Northern Wisconsin,... even at minus 20* I don't blanket my big healthy wooly TW..... I do blanket my old, mini Donk. They both get extra hay during those horrid cold times. Love the video! Thanks again!
Only blanketed for trailering, sometimes when I lived in the cold country. Here in Texas? If I plan to do any serious riding blankets are clipping are a must. Those 90° February days wreak havoc on a training schedule if you don't. The difference in the regions is amazing.
This is fantastic! I've met numerous people in all the camps. LOL! I also find your region's weather patterns have an influence on the blanket debate. Loved it!
I love this!! My show horse gets blanketed any time its under 55, but all my others are totally fine. It all depends on the horse, although when its raining I try to blanket the ones that appreciate it. I don't catch my horses to blanket them, i just go up to them in a pasture with it. If they are cool with it going on them they let me put it on, if not they walk away. It works, they aren't going to die without it :)
Haha, this was great! I have two extremes going on. My old girl is 29 and grows a winter coat like a mammoth, but she also struggles with bad arthritis and keeping weight on, and definitely rolls her eyes as I check on her and her blanket(s) for the millionth time. I do try and hold off on blanketing until about Christmas when supposedly their coats are "fully grown" but will definitely throw a lighter blanket on if it's a colder night or we had bad weather. Her son on the other hand grows a regular winter coat, but will NOT keep a blanket of any weight on unless it is well into the single digits. Rips it off, uses his overly large brain and dexterous teeth/lip to Houdini himself out of it, won't let you get close to put it on, has NO patience for it. Between being young, destructive, and not struggling, he spends almost all of the winter without a blanket.
Even into his 30s, my grade gelding flat refused to wear a blanket. As a teen I thought not blanketing was horrible, and tried everything short of actual staples to keep one on him. He could take the blasted things off faster than I could get them on. 🙄 He stomped and pooped on them, and when I didn't get the hint, he started stuffing them in his water bucket 😒 Apparently rolling in the snow isn't nearly as fun when you have a blanket on 🤷😆 (I eventually learned to listen to him, especially on the trail!)
I love the approach on discussing blanketing. My personal opinion is that it depends on the horse’s age, breed, and of course the temperature outside. It also depends on whether or not your horse is out to pasture or kept in a stall most of the time. My AQH mare grows a long coat and looks like a big teddy bear right now. Our 32 year old Saddlebred gelding does not get as much of a coat, so we will blanket him if the temperature goes into single digits. The horses have access to the indoor arena for shelter, so that is another factor for us.
I'm a "it depends on the horse and where they live" kind of person. I put sheets on my horses when it rains and then goes below freezing. I put winter blankets on them when it gets into the -20's. They're sturdy northern horses so they can take the cold with their thick fluffy coats, but I've seen them shiver before and I'm not letting that happen again if I can help it.
I'm usually the "don't blanket, they don't need it" (for most healthy horses that have access to some sort of shelter). I also don't like blankets from a safety aspect. I'll never leave a halter on a horse turned out no matter how hard to catch they are, and while a blanket is safer than a halter, its still something for things to get caught on. I do blanket horses that I plan to take to a winter sale so they look sleek for that, and sometimes ill blanket a harder keeper if I'm struggling to get them to maintain weight during the winter if they're still in full work.
This was great! I believe in not blanketing horses if they grow a thick winter coat in time for the cold weather. My mare has a nice winter coat and hay 24/7 so I don’t blanket unless it drops to 10 degrees and below. I try to let her naturally produce heat instead of blanketing all winter but some horses need blankets. when it rains a lot I put a rain sheet on but that’s just what works for me and my horse.
"The tripledy dipeldy heavy heavy heavy, and the doubledy doupledy heavy heavy" I definately think that all horses need both of these blankets. Love the video as always😁😂
Haha sometimes I get this, I don’t blanket anymore since our horses are so thick with fur! But I used to because my first pony had legit no winter coat- it just depends on the horse! 😂 (I do use a show blanket tho) great video!!!
I did lots of research and have a winter 150g blanket for my mare. She grows more guard hairs than an actual coat so a blanket was a good option. Since it isn't too heavy its on when its below -10 or -10 with snow or hail. On super cold -40 nights she has extra hay and a warm grain. Especially when we have lots of blowing snow or a blizzard.
i use just 3 different types, a thin waterproof one ( my horses doesn’t like to stay into a stall he’s a rescue he feels like he’ll get left), a think winter waterproof, and a fly sheet!
Exactly what I do! my mare was an auction rescue and she HATES being stalled with a strong passion. Only thing is i also have a heavy blanket for when it gets below 5° F
I have pretty much the same, fly mesh for when it's hot but heaps of mozzies at night. Cotton for when it's not too hot but not cold, waterproof for rain, 100g polyfil for the start and end of winter and a 300g polyfil for when it's below 10degree Celcius. I also have fleece I can put underneath any blanket to add warmth but I prefered not to double rug, I think it would be uncomfortable.
Same here! But all of mine are combos with removable necks because they're cheaper and they allow for a bit more flexibility. But a warm water proof since neither of my horses grow decent winter coats, a light water proof since I live in the wettest part of Australia, and a fly sheet for the same reason because bugs are horrendous year round.
@@emmamclean5510 I also live in Australia, it rains a lot so they all have shelters because it can be so humid but rain too. I found the detachable necks to be amazing but once I took it off once I could never get it back on the same 😭
Love it so much. Next you need to show how different people care for their horse in general! The pampered horse, the outdoor 24/7 horse, etc. 😂 just an idea :)
This made me laugh so much I love how this is hilarious and also so cool to see all his crazy different perspectives this was such a creative idea and just made my day even better when I read the title I was so interested to see what this was going to be like and now I know absolutely hilarious and the highlight of my day lol love your channel gypsy it’s heart warming and hilarious all in one I just cannot get over this video thank you so much gypsy equestrian/ Marina! 🤣🤣😁
Love this!!! I live in south Texas so we only blanket when we get a hard norther in that puts us under 30 and that’s only for the horses that are stalled. Most of ours can’t grow enough of a coat for freezing temps thanks to our typical temp being 60-80 degrees 😂😂 it’s the science plus vibes for me lmao
Love your videos! My horse will not go out in rain at all, but when it snows he insists on standing out in it. Snowstorms are the only time I blanket him and it comes off as soon as it's over.
If your horse grows a good, thick, winter coat - and the snow doesn't melt off their back, but just sits there, in a high drift, in the middle of a blizzard ? You know they are holding their body heat in very well, just with their hair coat.....Yeah, I blanketed my mare regardless !!!! LOL.....
It is freezing cold here in New Jersey today. And I was just thinking if I owned a horse or a couple of horses if I would be blanketing them today. And your video pops up! I love this! Very creative, funny and interesting. I was actually thinking that if I put a blanket on the horse he would be saying to himself what in the heck are you doing? LOL. But the horse would just think to himself, oh I better let her do what she’s doing, she’s always hugging and kissing me anyway.
love the crazy lady voice, Gypsy Equestrian is now on my sub list, not sure why it wasn't B4...? Anyway, well done, keep it up! looking forward to more smothered giggles from watching your channel!
Where I live it rains quite a bit. So I only blanket my horse for that. But he mostly stays without one! He does have a pretty nice winter coat though! Great video as always. I was laughing through the whole thing 😆
Hi Marina! I know you’ll never see this but… I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Me and my sister always look forward to watching your videos because they always make us laugh and are super relatable! My favorite vid you did was the 5 stages of horse ownership one (but I love them all!) I just started my channel this week! And I’m trying to get 50 subscribers! Love your channel! Best wishes for the new year! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly it depends on the horse, what they are doing, how they cope with their schedule, but mostly it’s up to the rider. A quarter horse that works a ranch I probably wouldn’t blanket if it wasn’t an extreme exigent circumstance, but a show horse who is in extreme work is blanket to hell and back, light, medium, heavy, sheets, coolers, etc. etc. Kensington and back on track for the win.
We have a Norwegian horse/Fjord horse, earlier she had the wildest winter coat, 100% waterproof. But she is 30+ years today and needs a good blanket now. We have a standartbreed who normally doesnt need a blanket, but when we hit -18 degrees Celsius she gets a blanket too. My trakhener stallion cant grow a decent winter coat, so heavy blankets for him. Different horses, different needs
Our neighbors kidded us about blanketing our horses. Calls it their "jammies". Live in the Pacific Northwest, my horses have more blankets and weights than I do. Wet rain and wind and some stand out in the rain by choice. Also depends of horses age, breed and natural coat. Bless them that they stand quietly getting blanketed as weather changes.
My horses stall is covered, but it’s a “mare motel” style so if it’s rainy or super windy in the winter I’ll throw her one blanket on her and call it good, otherwise she’s got her wonderful coat that ends up covering me head to toe when she sheds outs in spring 😂 (plus she lives in a desert so it’s only cold for one month out of the year anyways haha)
@@GypsyEquestrian I love them all but maybe the one that’s the clickbait barn vlog or the sponsored barn vlog but I can’t really choose a top favorite because they are all super funny and entertaining.
I'm all for blanketing, but yes, horses have a thing called winter coats that keep them warm but blankets are especially useful when it's raining or it you can help keep them cleaner or if it's snowing you can blanket to keep the snow off them
Our old gelding (29), who sadly died this january had many blankets (7 or 8) because he had not that much coat. But 3 of these blankets where fly blankets because of his allergic reactions to fly bites (very big edema). Our ardennes mare (13) has so much fur that she doesnt need it. She has 2 fly masks and thats it. Our newest mare (14) is a half blind comtois with just the bare minimum of muscles. So she spent the last year developing muscles but no real coat. But we think next winter she will have a fur like our other mare. She inherited all the blankets of our gelding but just gets one when the temperatures go under the freezing point. And she has also 2 fly masks.
I’m definitely the one with to many blankets 😂 I have a youngster who doesn’t grow a coat and will be cold backed if he gets cold at all. I wish I could just leave him naked like my older horse can be. Great video as always!
Learnt that they had in some country done a test over some months were they taught different horse races to tell when they wanted a rug, wanted it off or just wanted to keep it as they had, and they would every 2 hours ask the horses what they wanted. And almost every horse every time didnt want a blanket unless it was raining and blowing at the same time and it was -10C°. Ofc like i said there were some horses that wanted the rug more often or less than the others but most of them didnt want a rug most of the time and was happy with not having one on. Ofc you know your horse the best, but look for signs that tells you what your horse wants. Just because y oh are cold doesnt mean your horse is. They are really good at controlling ans changing their temperature and their coats are mostly waterproof as long as you dont clip them
Which one are you? 👇🏻
The crazy lady oop
I blanket.. but only when it gets under 30F 🤣 each of my horses has a winter blanket, and a fly sheet and that’s it lol
The blanket-less one with the wooly mammoth horse lol
HAHAHHAHA
Honestly I’m probably the one with 105 blankets
"She grew disgusting scruffy stuff so I shaved it off." - Literal gold
It’s a winter coat🤣🤣🤣

Oh, me too… hugging them becomes a seriously soothing, warming and fuzzy experience. Specially minis.
Cows do the same thing.

@@secretsheik346 oh haha! thanks for clearing it up! 😅
Haha
I had an Icelandic. Didn’t own a blanket, because she grew one that was beyond necessary for winter below the artic circle. 😅
Icelandic horses get the fluffiest nicest coats^^ I never blanketed the ones I used to loan either.
In Iceland large groups literally huddle together for insulation in the coldest hours

Surprisingly my southern horses do not care about the freezing snow, and their coats are so dang long if you put on a blanket they sweat 🥶
Here in Canada we have to have three blankets for each horse 😂 and if we ride them on a -35 day we gotta check if they are sweaty and if they are we gotta blow dry them until their bone dry 😭 or else they will get sick in the cold 🥶 it’s really takes a lot of time after lessons 😓
@@mya_eq I'm in Canada and I know people who don't blanket. It depends on the horse's breed and how much they are exercised.
How do they feel about 80 degree heat in those coats? We blanket to even out the temperature difference
I would have to say clip your horse because you can't leave their coats on it's not good for them especially because they are athletes
Wow, this is so true. When my family got our first horse, we were shocked by the strong and conflicting opinions from various communities in the horse world! 😅 Many years later when we had figured things out and both we and the horses were comfortable with our routines, we had a Karen come pounding on the door yelling at us that she would report us for "blindfolding" our horses during a particularly buggy summer.

My trakhener stallion cant grow a decent winter coat, so heavy blankets for him. Different horses, different needs
Wholesome
Our neighbors kidded us about blanketing our horses. Calls it their "jammies". Live in the Pacific Northwest, my horses have more blankets and weights than I do. Wet rain and wind and some stand out in the rain by choice. Also depends of horses age, breed and natural coat. Bless them that they stand quietly getting blanketed as weather changes.
You are HILARIOUS
Lol awesome video!
My horses stall is covered, but it’s a “mare motel” style so if it’s rainy or super windy in the winter I’ll throw her one blanket on her and call it good, otherwise she’s got her wonderful coat that ends up covering me head to toe when she sheds outs in spring 😂 (plus she lives in a desert so it’s only cold for one month out of the year anyways haha)
Another really funny video!
Is there an insta reel ?? Hahahhaa gold!
Love the scientist
This is hilarious
Omgosh...LAUGHING!! So funny! The characters are so like girls I knew!! Those silly barn withces!!
"These horses are filthy animals" omigod I'm dying! 😅🤣😂
I got here 2 mins after it was posted! Love your comedy videos! Yesterday I watched every single comedy video in like 3 hours maybe! Lol
Hahaha that’s awesome thank you! Which one is your favorite?
@@GypsyEquestrian I love them all but maybe the one that’s the clickbait barn vlog or the sponsored barn vlog but I can’t really choose a top favorite because they are all super funny and entertaining.
@@GypsyEquestrian I almost forgot one of my favorites! The one upper equestrian! It’s very funny!
I have a Chonky draft halflinger and I only blanket him when it is going to reach below 25 overnight
Doubledy doopity !!🤣
🤣 love your vids
I'm all for blanketing, but yes, horses have a thing called winter coats that keep them warm but blankets are especially useful when it's raining or it you can help keep them cleaner or if it's snowing you can blanket to keep the snow off them
😂😂😂 i love this video
Lol I can’t wait to watch this 💖😁😎🥺
THE WAY THE CRAZY LADY TALKS REMINDS ME OF MY OLD INSTRUCTOR TALKS SM IT MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME 🥰
Our old gelding (29), who sadly died this january had many blankets (7 or 8) because he had not that much coat. But 3 of these blankets where fly blankets because of his allergic reactions to fly bites (very big edema). Our ardennes mare (13) has so much fur that she doesnt need it. She has 2 fly masks and thats it. Our newest mare (14) is a half blind comtois with just the bare minimum of muscles. So she spent the last year developing muscles but no real coat. But we think next winter she will have a fur like our other mare. She inherited all the blankets of our gelding but just gets one when the temperatures go under the freezing point. And she has also 2 fly masks.
My horse grows a SUPER thick winter coat so he has a lighter blanket on usually but if it is super cold he does get a thicker one 😀
Does he get clipped in the winter?
@@stablexstyle7364 We clip him in the summer but this winter we only gave him a half clip in the fall but he grew his coat back super fast
You should do different types of people putting a bridle on! Also I love ur channel
I’m definitely the one with to many blankets 😂 I have a youngster who doesn’t grow a coat and will be cold backed if he gets cold at all. I wish I could just leave him naked like my older horse can be. Great video as always!
Lol we had a snow storm a couple years ago too! It was in November so we all called it Snowvember
This video is so perfect, I think that my friend (who has the horses, 16) would be like the lady who believes in just the horse's coat.
Lol 😂 Honestly it is hard for me to choose. I don’t know which one I am, by the way your channel is the best.
i only put my horses blanket on when it gets down into the single digits and below 0, i just make sure she has a ton of hay. very relatable!
Learnt that they had in some country done a test over some months were they taught different horse races to tell when they wanted a rug, wanted it off or just wanted to keep it as they had, and they would every 2 hours ask the horses what they wanted. And almost every horse every time didnt want a blanket unless it was raining and blowing at the same time and it was -10C°. Ofc like i said there were some horses that wanted the rug more often or less than the others but most of them didnt want a rug most of the time and was happy with not having one on. Ofc you know your horse the best, but look for signs that tells you what your horse wants. Just because y oh are cold doesnt mean your horse is. They are really good at controlling ans changing their temperature and their coats are mostly waterproof as long as you dont clip them
When I was a kid, my pony was a real fur ball in the winter so I rode bareback to stay warm.
They’re filthy animals...c’mon! 😂😂 love it!
My horse looks like a woolly mammoth in the winter 🤣
