No its not true horses can't be sick there are many sicknesses horses can have one of them is called colic it can kill them if they don't have the proper care when they are sick. If a horse has colic call your vet and then walk the horse around DON'T let him/her lie down because then their guts can get all twisted up and that can kill them so it is not true that horses cannot get sick.

Answer2:

This depends on what you mean by sick. If you mean can they get ill, then yes, there are many sicknesses they can catch.

If however you meant sick as in vomiting, then no, nearly 100% of horses cannot vomit to easy stomach problems, which is why colic is so dangerous for a horse.

Do cats get morning sickness when pregnant?

Horses are unable to throw up. So, not that type of morning sickness. They can colic though, so just be sure they don't do that. If they do colic, keep them moving. Get some friends over & take shifts walking your house & give him plent of food/water. DON'T LET HIM LAY OR SIT. Take him to a vet if it doesn't improve by the next day. Signs of colicing is not eating or drinking, laying. Keep an eye on your house. If you ride them too much, they can colic, as well as if they get over-heated. Colicing is like a stomach ache & since horses can't throw up, it can become very serious.
