Best Answer

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.
