loss of interest in food and difficulty breathing
This all really depends on what exactly is eaten and what the toxic levels are in such plant but here are a few
-Diarrhea ranging from loose/greasy stool to full blown water
-Colic or signs of discomfort in the gut region
-Founder or heat in their feet
-Immediate loss of condition (saggy belly, muscle waste)
-Loss of appetite(anorexia)
-Fever(this varies from horse to horse, my race horses range at approx 100.1-101.0 and my show horses are about 99.1-100.1, tho I have drafts and they can be as low as 98.5-100.1)
-Lethargy (again consider weather as well as hot weather makes horses groggy)
If you suspect poison in your horse, call the vet and describe the current symptoms, they may just need a mineral oil flush or something more drastic and immediate like a pump and antibiotics. This all really depends, don't wait too long as the toxins can enter the blood stream and kill off the organs and blood supply and this will be fatal.
There are many different plants that are poisonous depending on your location, make sure to remove all ragweed, deadly night shade and other such plants from your pastures, I personally make sure I mow and tend my paddocks and any suspicious plant life is removed.
* sweating* panting* laying down* resistance to move* not drinking/eating* dull look in eyes* not neighing or nickering(if that is normal for your horse)
Loss of interest in Food
Difficulty breathing
Watch out for anything our the ordinary,
listlessness, irregular breathing, dull eyes, orangey or dark red coloured gums and eyes (they should be pink), stiffness.
Depending on the plant it could be a number of different symptoms.

This is one of those times when it pays to know your horse. Depending on the plant and the amount eaten, some signs can be subtle. Look for loss of appetite. Most horses are preoccupied with food. When they don't eat as much or are not as eager for dinner, this is a red flag. If he looks lethargic, if you see him drooling, if he looks a little colicy or uncomfortable he may have eaten something toxic. Look closely, is he sweating for no reason or does he have chills or the shakes. These can all be signs of poisonous plant consumption.
Always call your vet. Don't be afraid of sounding paranoid. Its better to be safe than sorry. Tell the vet why you think he may have eaten something bad. You and he can decide what to do.

Well i don't know if this is exactly correct but if your horse eats a poisonous plant the horse should show some unexpected behavior. For an example the horse should start moving wildly fast like something is wrong and some time after that it should not be able to move for a long time. At least that is what i think.
Depending on the plant consumed the symptoms can be lack of appetite, lethargy, drooling, shaking or trembling, colic-like behavior, looking uncomfortable. There can be other signs but these are the most common.
