Best Answer

horses should drink plenty of water especially if they are eating hay all day, you should have atleast a 15 ltr bucket in a horses stable at all times and always keep your stable clean even when the horse is out just incase of an emergency ...

the average horse drinks 30 to 40 gallons of water a day!

A good rule of thumb is to provide 1 gallon per 100 pounds of body weight. that means you should provide 11 gallons for a 1,100 pound horse.

It is less how often and more how much. Horses drink between 5 to 10 gallons of water a day, depending on temperature, work and anything else that effects how much water they loose during the day through sweating. Pony's will drink a little less of course. As long as horse's have 24/7 access to water (preferably heated in the winter since they don't like cold water) they will drink however often they need to to get the needed amount of water.

A 1000 lb horse drinks about 10 gallons of water a day. A very thirsty horse can drink 3-4 gallons of water in one sitting. A wild horse can survive by filling up on water just once every other day.

A horse needs and should be provided fresh water all the time (free choice) to keep them from getting sick. When riding in hot weather, be sure to offer the horse water every 1 to 2 hours.

What is the water like that wild horses drink?

Wild horses are very adept at finding what they need including water. Horses have a keen sense of smell and can smell a water source from several miles away. Once they know where to get water they will remember the location. They are also very good at knowing when the water supply is tainted. Usually one sniff or small sip and they will move on.

How much do wild horses eat in a day?

Horse typically drink 0.5 to 1.0 gallon of water a day per 100 pounds, so a 900 pound horse would drink 4.5 to 9 gallons a day in stable weather conditions. If the weather is particularly cold they may not drink as much and if the weather is hot they will drink more. The amount of water consumed will also vary with availability, if water is not available at all times then a horse will try to drink as much as their stomach will allow when they do find water.


How does horses get water?

There are actually quite a few different ways that horses get their water and a few different variables. I have horses and their out on pasture so we have water tanks for them that we keep full. If a horse is in a stable they would most likely have a bucket in their stall that was kept full at all times. There are also automatic waterers where a horse is trained to step of a pedal of sorts and it fills up a dish for them to drink out of. Wild horses on the other hand are going to drink out of lakes, ponds, creeks, rivers.. pretty much any water supply that they can get to. Its very important for horses to have access to water at all times.
