I live in southern Ca. and blanket my Fjords throughout the winter once they
have been clipped. They are worked 5 days a week and if I left their thick,
winter coats on and worked them hard in often 80 temperatures, they would not
only be miserable, but physically stressed from the heat. They just wilt in
the heat with those heavy coats. I usually have to clip twice, November and
then again in January. The horses probably get acclimatized and a 40 degree
night can be very cold to a clipped horse when it's been in the 70's and 80's
during the day.
