Cold?
It's pretty cold still where I am, with the day time high yesterday reaching about 37 degrees. When I was out shopping I saw an SUV pull in, pulling a horse box. They stopped, took the horse out, turned her around full circle and put her back in.
But it occurred to me-would the horse be cold in there? She had on no blanket, and it was really cold. Are the boxes heated? |

It depends on what you're used to for cold. 37 is a balmy day where I am. Our winter has been closer to 10-15 max here. Remember too, that horses have thick skin, and a winter coat to keep them warm. I would think, if the trip isn't really long, the unheated box would be fine.

It's cold here too, winter averages are usually around 10 farenheit for a good solid 2 months. I try to avoid using the trailer in that time, but when I do, it's no problem to throw on a blanket. We don't shorn their hair, so they have a good winter coat.

You guys really makes me envious, change the 37 degrees Fahrenheit into Celsius and that is our temperature here! I wish traveling is cheap and easy!
Back to horses, I guess the owner knows how he's horse doing. Too much cold would also freeze the horse to death. |
