You should used a clean towel or cotton leg quilt to apply pressure to the wound for 20-30 seconds then check it and see if it's quit bleeding, if not then reapply pressure and check every minute or so until it stops. If the blood is pulsing from a wound apply a compression bandage and call an equine vet immediately as an artery has been punctured. If the bleeding doesn't stop within a few minutes of direct pressure being applied, or the wound is in a high-motion area such as on the leg or the face, you should call your veterinarian.
