Not through their skin like us humans do. The European type cattle only have sweat glands in their noses. However, the Indian and African type cattle do have sweat glands in their skin as well as in their noses. So the answer to this question is both no and yes.

They do! Just like people, horses get tired and need to sleep. You may not think they sleep, because oftentimes they sleep standing up. You would think they would fall over, but their legs and the muscles surrounding them are designed so they can sleep standing up. You may find them laying down, but they usually only do that if they're taking a quick nap. They sleep standing up because they are prey animals - in the wild, they must be able to flee at a moment's notice. If they were lying down, they would most likely become a predator's next meal, because they wouldn't be able to get up and run away as fast as the rest of the herd.

Yes, if your horse isn't urinating, find a vet right away.

The Bos taurus cattle only sweat through their nose. Bos indicus cattle, on the other hand, sweat through the skin like horses and humans do.

yes horses sweat. They sweat when they need to cool down just like humans. The sweat comes out of their pores.
