about how much water does a horse drink in a day
Daily water consumption varies quite a bit. Season of the year, workload, reproductive status, diet, and climate factor into the volume of water needed by a particular horse on a specific day. As a starting point, the average horse drinks between 5 and 10 gallons (19 and 38 liters) of water each day. The horse may need slightly less if it is grazing lush pasture because fresh grass contains a high percentage of liquid.
