Legally speaking, a horse needs windbreak, access to food, and liquid water. This horse has chosen to be eating and out in the snow. Personally, I would put the hay in my (much larger) shelter, but otherwise, my own horses don't live much differently. Give them the option of a stall, and they will be outside, almost every time.

Each winter we get many calls from people concerned after seeing horses with snow on their backs. If you see snow building up on a horse’s back or rump, you are looking at proof that body heat is not escaping through the hair to melt the snow, and their coat is keeping them properly insulated. Also, the best way for a horse to stay warm is by eating! You can also see in this photo that the horse has access to a shelter, but is choosing to stay out in the snow and eat 🙂
