That is where having a BREATHABLE turnout matters. As long as it breathes, they should be comfy within a 20+ degree range. For Lady, 45-65 is "Sheet weather", 35-55 is "Midweight weather", and 25-45 is "Heavyweight weather".
I agree with everybody else, when in doubt, dress for day-time temperatures. Especially if he is stalled at night, it is 10-15 degrees warmer in the barn than outside and he is protected from the weather.

Thanks guys.... I've been looking a lot at the "combo" blankets, that come with a liner, sheet, and med weight blankets, and some of them seem to be a pretty good deal. Anyone had good or bad experiences with them?

Sometimes the combo blankets can cause rubs because the layers will shift. But..if the layers don't shift and the blanket fits well, it is a great way to save $$ on horse clothes. It really depends on how your horse is built, how easily he gets rubbed, how much he moves around/rolls, etc. You can also just get a liner to go under any sheet/blanket. Saratoga makes a nice fleece one that fits snug so it won't shift, and is nylon lined inside the shoulders. Also worth mention: Classic Cover-ups is closing out a bunch of blankets...they have a stable blanket that could work under a fleece as a heavy liner.... for $49.95!! www.classiccover-ups.com/05_closeouts.htm (It is towards the bottom) They have lots of sizes, too.
