Can horses catch a cold?


Rate This Answer

Horses catch colds just like their riders. The viral infection can be mild or severe. While the cold doesn't transfer from human to horse or vice versa, it easily passes from horse to horse. A cold passes from horse to horse by contact. The viral infection affects young horses in particular, though horses of all ages catch the disease. Like with humans, the highly infectious disease takes advantage of poor immunity caused by improper ventilation and every day care. ChaCha!
