If your horse is clipped you simply need to take more care to either keep them in except the warmest part of the day and when turning them out make sure they have a warm blanket on them. It would probably be better to keep the unclipped, as thats how nature designed them, but many horses will overheat if ridden and trained hard with the furry coat. It would be like making you run the mile with a down parka. Not alot of fun and dangerous once you stop moving and are wet with sweat and the air is below freezing. Horses do shed their winter coats, and those kept indoors with blankets as soon as it gets cold often don't grow a winter coat or only grow one slightly longer than the summer coat.
