about 50% or more

Dear Fellow EMT student: According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the answer is 100-200ml. (B)
A horse has (Typically) 80 ml of blood per kg (hotblood breeds have 100ml per kg and coldblood breeds have 65ml per kg). Therefore and average 1,200 pound horse will have 12.3 gallons of blood. A horse must lose roughly 10% of it's blood to go into shock, which would be roughly 2 gallons of blood.
The person would probably be in shock and be unconscious. If it is a child, they would be dead.
Make sure everyone is clear of the patient.
It is a very quick way to increase blood volume.
