Not usually. However if the bite has pierced through the skin and a bit of stuff from the horse's mouth gets in the wound, coupled with if the wound doesn't get cleaned out right away, you might get an infection. But in most cases, no.

∙ 11y agoHorse saliva isn't really a nice clean odorless water ride here. No matter how clean you treat your horse, they are made to eat and dissolve plants. That needs some serious bacteria to do that. Those bacteria start in the mouth.
If they bite you, you are almost guaranteed you're in for an infection. It's wise to consult a doctor after a horse bite, no matter how small. Unless you are absolutely sure you had your tetanus shot recently.
