Boarding in a Climate-Controlled Barn

 

Would I be upsetting my horse’s natural coat changes by boarding him in a climate-controlled barn?

Your horse’s coat will be affected, but probably not in a negative way, Carolyn. The artificial light and heat of a climate-controlled barn may decrease coat growth in winter, but will not completely eliminate it. Ideally, the artificial light is not left on after dark and heat is kept to a minimum.
