I'm not an expert, but some obvious symptoms would be: The horse would bump into some things The eye could start to cloud over The horse starts using his/her other senses (hearing, smelling) alot more He/She touches things with his body/face before getting too close Talking to other horses more, sometimes sounding desperate So, basically anything that you would do if you you couldn't see and couldn't communicate with people.
It sometimes has a blue glassy look to it!
The equine Rhinovirus is a type of equine influenza caused by the equine herpes virus. It can cause severe flu like symptoms and even death.

yes because of its essential oils and psoralens , if you do then the symptoms of poisoning is diarrhoea, depression, vomiting, occasional photosensitivity so to prevent this , remove the horse from plant and do not let it eat it .

Ive personally seen blind horses do many things jumping, dressage, trail riding, etc. I would think it dangerous for both the horse and the rider but yes it is possible for you to race a blind horse.
No. Many horses and ponies, like the Shetlands, have the forelock (not "bangs") hanging onto their faces and they don't go blind at all.
* Well, not ALL horses go blind, lose their teeth, and get weakened bones. That happens to some horses, depending on their "careers". One way you can tell a horses age, is by looking at their front 12 teeth.These teeth are called incisors. As horses age, their incisors sort of cave in. Below I have added a diagram, to give you an idea: *A horse changes when it ages by: going blind, loosing their teeth, and weekining bones.
Yes. Mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus and can infect horses when bitten. Other than horses, most animals that get the virus have mild, if any, symptoms. It is a serious illness in birds, horses, and some people.
Horses have a blind spot directly in front of them so it is better to approach them slowly, from the side.
