"She grew disgusting scruffy stuff so I shaved it off." - Literal gold

I'm a big believer in "it depends on the horse" - one of mine grows a very fine, very downy winter coat that doesn't hold heat well and the other horse won't let him come into the run in. He gets a sheet at 40F and an actual blanket once it gets below about 34. The other is an absolute woolly mammoth. He gets a sheet if it's raining, and a blanket once it drops below 25 or so (we live in the south, so that's the temps my horses are acclimated to. For them, if it drops down into the teens, that's *really really cold*. They're also both getting up there in age, the wuss is 19 and the fluffy one is 26ish).

When I was a new horse owner, I asked one of my long time horse owner friends if he blanketed his horses. He turned around and said, “ does your horse have a COAT?” 😂 EDIT: Please stop getting so bent out of shape and ugly about this comment. I live in the south, where nobody blankets their horses and I wanted to share something funny my friend told me. This is NOT an attack to you!

I love when horses grow winter coats and they become fluffs ♥

I had an Icelandic. Didn’t own a blanket, because she grew one that was beyond necessary for winter below the artic circle. 😅

Surprisingly my southern horses do not care about the freezing snow, and their coats are so dang long if you put on a blanket they sweat 🥶

Only one of my nine has a blanket, lol. She's having a hard year this year with keeping weight on, she's missing some teeth and getting older so for her she needs the extra help, the rest, have their shelter, and are doing fine with their natural coat. love your funny videos!

"Thermal Regulation".... A horses natural , God given ability to regulate their own heating and cooling. Here in Northern Wisconsin,... even at minus 20* I don't blanket my big healthy wooly TW..... I do blanket my old, mini Donk. They both get extra hay during those horrid cold times. Love the video! Thanks again!

Wow, this is so true. When my family got our first horse, we were shocked by the strong and conflicting opinions from various communities in the horse world! 😅 Many years later when we had figured things out and both we and the horses were comfortable with our routines, we had a Karen come pounding on the door yelling at us that she would report us for "blindfolding" our horses during a particularly buggy summer. I'm not sure she ever fully grasped the concept of a fly mask... But thankfully she calmed down when we showed her that you can definitely see through them! 🤦‍♀️

I love this!! My show horse gets blanketed any time its under 55, but all my others are totally fine. It all depends on the horse, although when its raining I try to blanket the ones that appreciate it. I don't catch my horses to blanket them, i just go up to them in a pasture with it. If they are cool with it going on them they let me put it on, if not they walk away. It works, they aren't going to die without it :)

“The extra medium, the medium medium…” I absolutely love that lol 😂

Haha, this was great! I have two extremes going on. My old girl is 29 and grows a winter coat like a mammoth, but she also struggles with bad arthritis and keeping weight on, and definitely rolls her eyes as I check on her and her blanket(s) for the millionth time. I do try and hold off on blanketing until about Christmas when supposedly their coats are "fully grown" but will definitely throw a lighter blanket on if it's a colder night or we had bad weather. Her son on the other hand grows a regular winter coat, but will NOT keep a blanket of any weight on unless it is well into the single digits. Rips it off, uses his overly large brain and dexterous teeth/lip to Houdini himself out of it, won't let you get close to put it on, has NO patience for it. Between being young, destructive, and not struggling, he spends almost all of the winter without a blanket.

I love the approach on discussing blanketing. My personal opinion is that it depends on the horse’s age, breed, and of course the temperature outside. It also depends on whether or not your horse is out to pasture or kept in a stall most of the time. My AQH mare grows a long coat and looks like a big teddy bear right now. Our 32 year old Saddlebred gelding does not get as much of a coat, so we will blanket him if the temperature goes into single digits. The horses have access to the indoor arena for shelter, so that is another factor for us.

I'm a "it depends on the horse and where they live" kind of person. I put sheets on my horses when it rains and then goes below freezing. I put winter blankets on them when it gets into the -20's. They're sturdy northern horses so they can take the cold with their thick fluffy coats, but I've seen them shiver before and I'm not letting that happen again if I can help it.

This was great! I believe in not blanketing horses if they grow a thick winter coat in time for the cold weather. My mare has a nice winter coat and hay 24/7 so I don’t blanket unless it drops to 10 degrees and below. I try to let her naturally produce heat instead of blanketing all winter but some horses need blankets. when it rains a lot I put a rain sheet on but that’s just what works for me and my horse.

We've all known the "one size fits all" blanket lady. 😂

I'm usually the "don't blanket, they don't need it" (for most healthy horses that have access to some sort of shelter). I also don't like blankets from a safety aspect. I'll never leave a halter on a horse turned out no matter how hard to catch they are, and while a blanket is safer than a halter, its still something for things to get caught on. I do blanket horses that I plan to take to a winter sale so they look sleek for that, and sometimes ill blanket a harder keeper if I'm struggling to get them to maintain weight during the winter if they're still in full work.

This is amazing. So true.🤣🤣🤣

The Triplety diplty heavy and then the doubly doubly heavy 😂😂😂 lol

"The tripledy dipeldy heavy heavy heavy, and the doubledy doupledy heavy heavy" I definately think that all horses need both of these blankets. Love the video as always😁😂

This is just perfection, thank you!

my pampered little King Connectika couldn't possibly make it without blankets... turnouts... coolers... quartersheets... 😆😆😆 that OTTB LYFE lolol

I love your videos they make me smile every time I watch them 🤣🐎🐴

This made me laugh so much I love how this is hilarious and also so cool to see all his crazy different perspectives this was such a creative idea and just made my day even better when I read the title I was so interested to see what this was going to be like and now I know absolutely hilarious and the highlight of my day lol love your channel gypsy it’s heart warming and hilarious all in one I just cannot get over this video thank you so much gypsy equestrian/ Marina! 🤣🤣😁

🤣😂🤣😂 your so good at acting! I would not keep a straight face!

I did lots of research and have a winter 150g blanket for my mare. She grows more guard hairs than an actual coat so a blanket was a good option. Since it isn't too heavy its on when its below -10 or -10 with snow or hail. On super cold -40 nights she has extra hay and a warm grain. Especially when we have lots of blowing snow or a blizzard.

Love your videos! My horse will not go out in rain at all, but when it snows he insists on standing out in it. Snowstorms are the only time I blanket him and it comes off as soon as it's over.

love the crazy lady voice, Gypsy Equestrian is now on my sub list, not sure why it wasn't B4...? Anyway, well done, keep it up! looking forward to more smothered giggles from watching your channel!

I LOVE your videos! They always make me happy!

OMG I love this video you’re such a good actor do more like this please😂.

Love it so much. Next you need to show how different people care for their horse in general! The pampered horse, the outdoor 24/7 horse, etc. 😂 just an idea :)

My horse has a sheet and a blanket. There have been days when it's in the 50s and raining when she's shivering, so I'll throw the sheet on her just to keep her dry. Blanket goes on when it starts to get really cold. But, if it warms up, I take it off of her. When I needed a new washer, I got a front loader so I could wash my own blankets. I also do my own repairs. And I use the spray cans of water proofer that's sold in the camping section of Walmart to waterproof it.

This video made my day.❤️

I love the new Zurreal shirts!

This was hilarious! Well done!

I love it! You can be a comedian.

Some of these were pretty funny, good job and keep it up!

If your horse grows a good, thick, winter coat - and the snow doesn't melt off their back, but just sits there, in a high drift, in the middle of a blizzard ? You know they are holding their body heat in very well, just with their hair coat.....Yeah, I blanketed my mare regardless !!!! LOL.....

Where I live it rains quite a bit. So I only blanket my horse for that. But he mostly stays without one! He does have a pretty nice winter coat though! Great video as always. I was laughing through the whole thing 😆

“In fact I use the same blanket for all of my horses,” The gray horse in the background with a blanket on:

Love this!!! I live in south Texas so we only blanket when we get a hard norther in that puts us under 30 and that’s only for the horses that are stalled. Most of ours can’t grow enough of a coat for freezing temps thanks to our typical temp being 60-80 degrees 😂😂 it’s the science plus vibes for me lmao

This is amazing!!!😂

THE WAY THE CRAZY LADY TALKS REMINDS ME OF MY OLD INSTRUCTOR TALKS SM IT MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME 🥰

"The tripledy dipledy heavy heavy" that really cracked me up! 😂

Bahaha! Thanks for the laugh, needed it 😂🤣

Haha sometimes I get this, I don’t blanket anymore since our horses are so thick with fur! But I used to because my first pony had legit no winter coat- it just depends on the horse! 😂 (I do use a show blanket tho) great video!!!

The struggle/fight is real 🤣

Omgosh...LAUGHING!! So funny! The characters are so like girls I knew!! Those silly barn withces!!

hahaha! 🤣lol I love your Videos!! ❤

"These horses are filthy animals" omigod I'm dying! 😅🤣😂

They’re filthy animals...c’mon! 😂😂 love it!

Your are so funny!!! You are my favorite KZfaqr!!

i use just 3 different types, a thin waterproof one ( my horses doesn’t like to stay into a stall he’s a rescue he feels like he’ll get left), a think winter waterproof, and a fly sheet!

U r the best gypsy

Absolutely love the piss take hahah

This is priceless.😂😂

It is freezing cold here in New Jersey today. And I was just thinking if I owned a horse or a couple of horses if I would be blanketing them today. And your video pops up! I love this! Very creative, funny and interesting. I was actually thinking that if I put a blanket on the horse he would be saying to himself what in the heck are you doing? LOL. But the horse would just think to himself, oh I better let her do what she’s doing, she’s always hugging and kissing me anyway.

A rains sheet, a jacket and a cooler for after workouts 😂

Doubledy doopity !!🤣

This video is so perfect, I think that my friend (who has the horses, 16) would be like the lady who believes in just the horse's coat.

We have a Norwegian horse/Fjord horse, earlier she had the wildest winter coat, 100% waterproof. But she is 30+ years today and needs a good blanket now. We have a standartbreed who normally doesnt need a blanket, but when we hit -18 degrees Celsius she gets a blanket too. My trakhener stallion cant grow a decent winter coat, so heavy blankets for him. Different horses, different needs

I ❤ these videos so funny 😂🎉

“Doubley doopity heavy” 😂

This video is great thank you I subscribed

This was hilarious!!! Could you do an update on Kazí?

I love this

I don't have horse, but I use blankets very often for myself. 😂

I love how she was trying to be sciencey through the whole video. 🤣🤣🤣

LOVED!!!!!!

Love the scientist

Cracking up watching this 😂

I never blanket my mare. Live in Florida. Hello! No need to blanket! Soooo, I'm definetly "No Blanket Lady" 😅🤣

Honestly it depends on the horse, what they are doing, how they cope with their schedule, but mostly it’s up to the rider. A quarter horse that works a ranch I probably wouldn’t blanket if it wasn’t an extreme exigent circumstance, but a show horse who is in extreme work is blanket to hell and back, light, medium, heavy, sheets, coolers, etc. etc. Kensington and back on track for the win.

You are HILARIOUS

I love horse blankets

I’m definitely the one with to many blankets 😂 I have a youngster who doesn’t grow a coat and will be cold backed if he gets cold at all. I wish I could just leave him naked like my older horse can be. Great video as always!

Great video Marina!

I just go from one to two as it gets colder-

Ya, I'm definitely the one with the ton of blankets lol. Though to be fair that's very normal at my barn and in my area. My horse gets clipped in the winter because she stays in regular work. So we have all kinds of blankets. I think I have: One flysheet, one heavy-weight, one waterproof medium-weight, one light-weight, one waterproof sheet, one Irish knit cooler, and two normal coolers.

This is gold 🤣

Our neighbors kidded us about blanketing our horses. Calls it their "jammies". Live in the Pacific Northwest, my horses have more blankets and weights than I do. Wet rain and wind and some stand out in the rain by choice. Also depends of horses age, breed and natural coat. Bless them that they stand quietly getting blanketed as weather changes.

So on point... so artistic =] ExtraMedium, Extra-Extra-Heavy-Heavy 😆

My horses stall is covered, but it’s a “mare motel” style so if it’s rainy or super windy in the winter I’ll throw her one blanket on her and call it good, otherwise she’s got her wonderful coat that ends up covering me head to toe when she sheds outs in spring 😂 (plus she lives in a desert so it’s only cold for one month out of the year anyways haha)

Is there an insta reel ?? Hahahhaa gold!

i only put my horses blanket on when it gets down into the single digits and below 0, i just make sure she has a ton of hay. very relatable!

Lol😂. I never blanket my horses unless it's a cold South wind or it's -50.

I would probably be the science lady. 🤣 I’m really big on animal science and I love reading about it!

"Doubledy Doupedy Heavy Heavy" Ah yes. I have that one 😂

the doublety tripity heavy heavy

🤣 love your vids

Another really funny video!

This is so good. What do you not understand that horse have a winter coat.

Kinda scary I`ve got both books she`s holding, cant make out the bottom too, but yeah.. 'bare nescesseties" them books LoL This video is so well put together. Thank you!

That WAS funny! 😄

Learnt that they had in some country done a test over some months were they taught different horse races to tell when they wanted a rug, wanted it off or just wanted to keep it as they had, and they would every 2 hours ask the horses what they wanted. And almost every horse every time didnt want a blanket unless it was raining and blowing at the same time and it was -10C°. Ofc like i said there were some horses that wanted the rug more often or less than the others but most of them didnt want a rug most of the time and was happy with not having one on. Ofc you know your horse the best, but look for signs that tells you what your horse wants. Just because y oh are cold doesnt mean your horse is. They are really good at controlling ans changing their temperature and their coats are mostly waterproof as long as you dont clip them

Wholesome

I'm a show-horse owner, so I definitely believe in rugs.

I am absolutely the no blanket people haha. We have an open barn and multiple horses to huddle together and on days it gets in the negative temps we give full feed as well, so even though we live in the northern states with lots of snow and ice a blanket is never needed

I blanketed my Gypsy cross gelding last winter (he was not a fan of the freezing cold weather) my pony was totally fine with it all, and she has a very thick & fluffy coat. 😊 We just had a cold front come in two nights ago and we had some ice & snow and I actually had to blanket my pony for the night! In my opinion It really depends on the horse and the weather conditions.
