When a horse gets a 'cold' it's not the same as when a person does. You didn't mention how long this cold has gone on. To me, this sounds like something you may want to talk to your vet about. If you know how, take his temperature before you call, the vet will want to know. Then the two of you can decide if it warrents a visit.
Horus the horse was hoarse because of a bad cold.
if you are talking of outside, you can build something like a lean-to or small open barn or the horse to shelter in bad weather or from cold. but if you can, in bad weather or cold keep your horse in its stall in the barn.
It is bad for horses to wear blankets as you can read in the related link. The only time you would need to blanket a horse is if you rob them of their protection from the cold by clipping them. In this case the blanket is the lesser of 2 evils, even though it is still really bad. To tell if the horse needs a blanket, touch his ears. If they are cold, he is most likely cold. If not, he probably isn't, so leave him unblanketed.
Horses may need a blanket in the winter if you clip their coat, robbing them of their protection from the cold. Blanketing is bad for the horse however, but it is the lesser of 2 evils. If you touch your horses ears and they are cold, he is cold. If not, he is not, so leave him unblanketed.
There is no such thing as a bad breed of horse, just bad owners and riders.
horses dont ever "need" a blanket but they grow more hair if they get cold alot and that is thought of as a bad thing.
The amount of shavings can affect your horse: Giving him too much is bad for his moral and giving him not enough will leave him cold and it will soil easily and fast! Be sure to put the right amount in!
no
The type of cold medicine that a horse may receive would be totally up to the equine veterinarian that is overseeing the horse. Human grade cold medicines are not equine safe and should not be given,
It means that a horse has a painful back. It could be caused by several things. Could be a bad fitting saddle, or the stretching of injured tissue. Also could be lameness, when the horse adjusts its posture so he wont put weight on his bum limb.
Cold sores aren't bad but they can be painful.
they are cold-blooded
