If the horse still has his winter coat (as in you haven't clipped it off) and they have free-choice access to grass or grass hay, ad they can run around to warm up, they can be comfortable in 30 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit, and they can stand much colder. If you give the horse a run-in shelter to protect from rain and wind, they are even better off. So give your horse the option, and he will decide what is too cold for him.
