This is the way a horse can clean out its lungs of things like dust or dirt that it inhales. Discharge from the nose is normal but if there is a large amount of it and if it is a tan or green color it is time to call a vet in.

∙ 12y agoThe horse has a nose appropriate to his size, which for the average horse, is about 1000 lbs. They have a long head and some people call the horse's face or head, his nose. The nostrils are larger than many mammals, this enables the horse to breath in more oxygen during physical activity. In turn, the more oxygen taken in helps when running from a preditor.

Can horses breathe through their nose?
The nasal passages of a horse are large and flexible and designed to take large amounts of air into the horses lungs. When a horse is exercising at their maximum ability, the amount of air coming in increases ten times the normal. At the back of a horses throat, they have 2 "trap doors", so to speak, flaps of tissue that prevent food and other material from going into the horses lungs. These are called the soft palate and the epiglottis. The soft palate is a flap of tissue at the top of the back of the throat and hangs down. The epiglottis is a flap at the bottom of the back of the throat that points up. Working in harmony, these flaps open and close, letting only food and water go into the horses stomach and only air go into the horses lungs.

Why use lasix on race horses?
Some horses have nose bleeds when given strenous excercise, so they ar given lasix to lower their blood pressure reducing the possiblity of the nose bleeds. It is done to improve the publics view of horse racing, not because the horse is in any real danger from the nose bleeds. I just doesn't do the racing industry any good to see a horse in the winner circle with blood dripping from a nose bleed or bloody frothy foam around the mouth and nostrils.
