It depends on the size, bred, amount of work they're doing and how hot it is. Typically they need at least 15 gallons a day.

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.
