also have to take into account the wind speed and the amount of rainfall. These also impact how cold the horse will get.
When the horse gets wet this increases the rate of cooling through evaporation a similar effect to sweating. Therefore if the horse is exposed to heavy rainfall it can become cold. In contrast to this snow can lay on top of a horses coat providing insulation without causing them to become wet. Therefore snowfall is less of a worry than rainfall.
