Heaves (equine COPD) is usually considered a disease of stabled horses. It is frequently caused by exposure to too much dust in the atmosphere of a barn. The best treatment for heaves is turnout and getting the horse out of the barn and away from the irritating dust and allergens.
A horse has a stall inside the stable or barn.
Horses are herbivores that eat primarily roughage - grass, hay, stalks of various plants, etc. When they are out on pasture or are wild, they eat wherever the plants are - in the field, the pasture, the meadow, etc. When horses are stabled in a barn, they eat out of troughs or mangers.

This depends on where your horse is stabled at, what other horses he/she is in contact with, what the population density of the stable is, what worms have been a problem at this stable, how old your horse is and several other factors as well. The best answer to this is to discuss your concern with your veterinarian when he/she does a routine physical, floats your horses teeth (files down the sharp edges) and/or vaccinates your horse. An adult horse stabled in a barn with relatively few other horses, a large amount of pasture space and doesn't travel anywhere may not need to be dewormed at all. In contrast, a young horse (less than 3 years old) who is stabled in a large barn with many other horses that rotate in and out, has very little pasture access and travels frequently to shows or competitions may need to be on a daily dewormer with additional deworming with a second drug every 2-3 months. Your veterinarian can take a stool sample from your horse and look for the eggs of a parasite under a microscope; this is relatively easy to do and should cost less than $20. Based on what eggs are seen, your veterinarian can then recommend what dewormer you should use (there are at least three different drug classes of dewormers commercially availabe in the US) and how often you should deworm your horse.
Yes horses live in barn.
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.
Slowly introduce the horse to new places as you progressively work towards your goal of the horse not being barn sour. You do this by making it fun to be away from the barn or stable. See if the horse does better if he / she has a companion to go with them, maybe take a special treat along with you and offer it to your horse when it is being good and not trying to get back to the barn. Or simply change your routine.
