I did :) thanks.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do about blanketing.....Both my horses coats have thickened up, but they're not really growing long. I'm not sure what to do about Harley. It could be pretty cool at the ride. I would probably think it would be good to blanket him there. After all the excerise thure the day then having to stand tied all thru the night with no shelter like he has here, he could get stiff???? So should I be blanketing him now at night??? What's you all's opinion. Other then tonight the night's are being forecast in the mid to upper 40's.

Mine don't have winter coats yet. The barn comfortable and I don't want them to get too hot. If it gets in the lower 40's I'll go put them on though.

Even if he's not normally blanketed, I'd think it wouldn't hurt to do it at the ride. He'll be out in whatever elements are there, and keeping him warm will help him at least not waste any energy staying warm if it's chilly out. Keeping his muscles warm will help keep him looser in the morning, too, I'd think.
Can't hurt.
We don't blanket our horses here unless we get freezing rain/sleet and below freezing temps, then we only blanket horses who don't have shelter.
HOWEVER, we blanket to trailer them and unless the weather is nice, we blanket after an endurance ride.
