Alice said that generally speaking when the weather drops below 50 it is time to get out the blanket and cooler. You want him to grow a little bit of hair but not get totally hairy and disgusting. This year Mercury has a summer fly sheet, a spring/summer light weight sheet (not waterproof), a cooler for the winter when he sweats, a fall/spring waterproof turn-out blanket, and a winter high neck blanket. Wow.
Also, today when I rode him - I only rode for about half an hour because he totally got it from the lesson yesterday and remembered. We worked on the walk then on the trot with the proper head position, and while he wasn't perfect, he didn't hang on my hands, and he really tried. It was really cool.
