Water consumption is extremely important in the digestive process to avoid colic impaction, dehydration and other life threatening ailments. How much water does a horse consume in a day? The average horse will intake 5 to 10 gallons of fresh water per day. Just like humans different horses crave or need different water amount intakes. A horse deprived of feed, but supplied drinking water, is capable of surviving 20 to 25 days. A horse deprived of water may only live up to 3 or 6 days. After lacking water intake for two days a horse may refuse to eat and exhibit signs of colic and other life-threatening ailments.

That means, at any time of the day, approximately 1-2% of the horseâs weight is food and water being pushed from the foregut to hindgut.
