Horses in varying climates grow winter coats in the winter months and shes them in the spring. However it’s not the weather variance that determine the coat growth or shedding. Its the daylight hours. The horses’ pituitary gland recognizes change in daylight hours and produces hormones that cause the hair growth and loss.
The spring is an especially variable time for weather in MN. We’ve had an 80 degree day 4 weeks ago and today it’s in the 30s with flurries. The worst weather for horses though is just above freezing and raining. The wet coat keep them from warming themselves with their natural body heat (enhanced greatly by eating, horses eat to stay warm).
So on really cool spring days we will throw blankets on them to make sure they stay warm enough. And since they are massive animals with no regard for how much things cost, they will most likely tear the material and break the straps by the time the weather warms up.
