Let them come. I'd look up laws where you are, but here in the States, as long as the basic needs are met (food, water and shelter), there's nothing the authorities can do.
Also, blankets/coats aren't necessarily a good thing for horses. Their coats are made to withstand the elements and keep them insulated and warm. Putting on a blanket inhibits the growth of that natural protection and flattens the coat that is there, which makes it so it can't do it's insulating job as well.
My gelding has never worn a blanket and never will. He looks like a wooly mammoth in winter and is a pain to groom/shed out in the spring, but he loves the cold.
