Good question. Every horse owner/lover should know the symptoms of a poisoned horse. It's important that you know your horse. Learn his habits, his facial expressions, his body language. Some illnesses can have very subtle signs at first. With poison there may be a very small window of opportunity to get help for your horse.
Watch for signs of listlessness, lying down or lying down and getting up repeatedly, sweating, chills or tremors, nipping at his sides or flanks like he has colic, drooling, drooping head and/or eyes, foaming at the mouth. He may have some, all or none of these if he has ingested something noxious. Since horses don't have the ability to regurgitate (vomit) it can be difficult for him to rid his body of poison. At the first sign of illness call your vet. This is not a 'wait and see' situation, and because it can look like colic, which is also very serious, don't second-guess yourself. Keep your horse as comfortable as you can until the vet gets there. Take all food and water from his stall or paddock until the vet says its ok to feed and water him. And lastly, try to remain calm. You will be more help to him if you use a quiet, calm voice.
