  • Normal equine temperature: 99ºF (Approx. 37.2ºC)
    Temperature of ice: <32ºF (<0ºC)
    20% of 99 is 19.8. Therefore, in order to be 20% cooler, Rainbow Dash would have to be 79.2ºF(Approx. 26.2ºC), a far cry from the sub-freezing temperatures of ice.

    This picture would be far more accurate if it showed a puddle.

    In order for percent changes to be of any worth when referring to temperatures, one must use an absolute scale.
    Using your own figure of 37.2°C, that is an initial temperature of 310.4K. 80% of that is 248.3K (-24.9°C/-12.8°F). This is most definitely a proper temperature for solid ice at almost any pressure.

    So if a horse were 20% cooler, it would be frozen solid and dead?
