If your horse has a common cold then the normal symptoms are:
- watery discharge from the nose, but gradually becomes more white grey, and may become quite a thick pus-like discharge,
-sometimes a cough is also present,
-your horse might have a slight temperature.
A cold usually makes horses a little grumpy and unwilling to do things. They may be put off their food and reluctent to run around. You will most likely notice a change in their temprement, the same way people feel like when we have a cold.
If your horse has a cold then you should:
-keep your horse warm and stop riding him,
-keep him away from other horses/ponies,
-dampen his feed because he may have a sore throat and any dust may further irritate his lungs.
After a few days, if he is not feeling better then you should call the vet.
Hope it helped :)
Check for fever-keep equine thermometer on hand in first aid kit. If your horse has a temp. of over 101 call your vet. These types of viruses may turn bacterial and the horse may need an antibiotic. If he has a cough your vet can prescribe a cough syrup also.
If a horse is not blanketed when it is cold, it may feel uncomfortable and shiver to maintain body heat. In severe cases, it may experience weight loss, weakened immune system, and be more prone to illnesses such as pneumonia. It is essential to provide adequate shelter and nutrition to keep a horse healthy in cold weather.
You would put a blanket on a horse in the winter to save him from getting a cold or even dieing. However, if you do not clip your horse, it is better to leave him unblanketed. To tell if your horse is cold enough to blanket him, touch his ears. If the are cold, he is most likely cold. If they are not, he is fine as is. Also look for abnormal behavior. If he is standing listlessly with his head down, something is wrong, and it may be that he is cold.
That is not answerable. Depending on what happens, the horse could accidentally trample on you. If you just happen to fall off, the horse will stay still or run. It all depends on the horse.
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.

A horse without fur would be very susceptible to sunburn and cold temperatures; exposure to intense sun or cold would likely prove fatal. However, if the horse is kept stabled and blanketed, it could have a reasonable life expectancy and quality.

If a horse reach 100 years - nothing happens.
The type of cold medicine that a horse may receive would be totally up to the equine veterinarian that is overseeing the horse. Human grade cold medicines are not equine safe and should not be given,
