Very beautiful!
These are Yakut horses. In winter, the temperature there drops even below -60 C, and this can also be combined with wind. These horses live there, walking among the snow. As I understand it, they are fatter than usual and they have some hair growing.

In the place where I live, the temperature at night dropped to -45 C. Today it has become warmer, about -30 C. I have strange sensations - on the one hand -30 C was very cold, but after -45 C - it seems to me that now it’s almost Summer has come.
I really didn’t move the goats into a large room. My herd sits in a small and cramped room, and in the corridor, fenced off by a fence, there is an electric radiator. Unfortunately, many breeders here make a serious mistake - they chase milk production, mixing European and even African breeds of goats, as a result the offspring are unsuitable for the local climate. An ordinary Russian goat can more or less withstand the cold in an insulated barn, but a mixed Russian goat gets cold, needs heating, or may even die. In my herd there is a very small admixture of breeds from warm countries, but I did not take risks - I drove the goats into a cramped room so that they sat next to each other, and turned on the electric heating.
In this regard, Yakut horses or goats of woolen, northern breeds would cause much less trouble.
