Oh I'm just full of "useless facts". LOL That's what happens when you get older... you've seen a lot of weird things that in the grand scheme of things... don't matter one bit. LOL

From "How Horses Cope with Cold Weather," or something like that - I googled it.
Horses readily adapt to winter weather. Cold temperature in itself is not a problem for a horse if he's had a chance to prepare gradually by growing a winter coat as fall temperatures drop. Wind and wet weather are the factors that can chill a horse. In windy regions, horses need some type of shelter to protect against the wind chill that can whip away body heat. Horses handle cold weather better than humans do; equines evolved in the cold climates of northern Europe and Asia. Their natural "comfort zone" (energy-neutral temperature zone, in which they don't need to expend extra energy to maintain normal body temperature if weather is not wet or windy) is from about 15 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The horse's body is better at creating and conserving heat in cold weather than dissipating it in hot weather. Very cool observation Janet! And, our farm savvy women knew all of this stuff. We rule!
