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 ...
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.
A mob of brumbies. In New Zealand they are called kaimanawa wild horses.
Wild horses typically inhabit grasslands, prairies, and open ranges where they have access to sufficient food, water, and space to roam freely. They are often found in arid or semi-arid environments with sparse vegetation. Their habitats can vary depending on the region and climate.
"Wild horses run free. Domesticated horses are tamer. Those are the only differences." those aren't the only differences. Domesticated horses eat very differently to wild horses, for example wild horses wouldn't eat chaff and pony nuts, wild horses would eat grass and berries. they also live very differently to one another... there are a few differences really
When they have a bottle they use their tongue to sip. When they drink form a small pet food bowl they lick up the water.
They drink twice a day. so yes they probly drink less than other horses because in the wild they have to look for water and other horses dont have to look for water because it is always in their bucket.
Horses drink water, although some horses won't drink water when they are traveling because it tastes different than they are used to so people put Kool Aid of Gatoraid in the water to make it taste good.
in the wild they live in the desert
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.
Water - surely all wild animals drink water?
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.
