No, nothing a horse gets can be transfered from a horse to a human. The closest thing to that is black fly season. It doesn't happen in every state, but where it does, you can get them. Just not from the horse.

No, the Equine Herpes Virus cannot be transmitted to humans. However, humans can carry the virus on their clothes or on equipment used on multiple horses and spread EHV between various horses this way.

Not if they are sick. If you work at the barn and don't wash your hands, then yes.

It is thought that Hepatitis C may have originated in horses. It is also thought that the virus may have been transmitted from horses to human through a mosquito bite.

Do horses take medicine for their sickness?

No its not true horses can't be sick there are many sicknesses horses can have one of them is called colic it can kill them if they don't have the proper care when they are sick. If a horse has colic call your vet and then walk the horse around DON'T let him/her lie down because then their guts can get all twisted up and that can kill them so it is not true that horses cannot get sick. Answer2: This depends on what you mean by sick. If you mean can they get ill, then yes, there are many sicknesses they can catch. If however you meant sick as in vomiting, then no, nearly 100% of horses cannot vomit to easy stomach problems, which is why colic is so dangerous for a horse.
