May a donkey go out with a saddlecloth (mardaat) on Shabbat?
Synopsis
A donkey may go out with a saddlecloth if it was tied on before Shabbat, because donkeys are naturally cold. Other animals may not, as they do not need warming. The Taz adds that when it is very cold, a horse also may go out with a saddlecloth.
