How often to water your horse when its hot?
Horses should have water available at all times not matter what. There is an old wives tale about not giving a horse too much water when it has been working hard and is hot, otherwise it could cause colic. That however is not true and has been debunked through scientific research. If however you are worried about the horse gulping down too much water while it's hot, you can keep a bucket of tepid water nearby and walk the horse to cool it out, each time you pass the bucket let the horse drink for a short time then move on , making another pass. Horses drink on average 0.5 to 1.0 gallons of water per 100 pounds of bodyweight, but this can quadruple during hot weather or after exertion.

Should a horse have access to clean fresh water whenever it wants?
Yes. Water is necessary for many aspects of your horse's health. It helps to flush impurities out through the kidneys, helps the nutrients from food get where they need to go, lubricates joints and protects body organs, helps regulate the horse's body heat, and many other things. No horse should EVER be left without access to clean fresh water. But when a horse is engaged in hard work, you will need to regulate how fast the horse is drinking water, and how much. Too much too fast after hard work can cause colic or laminitis. Allow the horse to cool down first before allowing it to drink large amounts of water.
