I would not. With a run-in shed they have the choice of where THEY want to be, even if you don't agree with it! Remember, they are horses, not humans, and don't believe in the same levels of comfort and what is too cold like we do. They will be living in a more natural environment which is healthier and the way nature meant it to be instead of being forced inside a stall in a barn. We think that a barn is more comfy, but most horses do not, unless they are clipped show horses, in which case they DO need a barn and blankets! Remember, if it is snowing and the snow collects on them and doesn't melt, it shows how insulated they are from the cold.
