Amazing question. Yes, the amount of water a horse should drink everyday is based off their weight and not their breed. The interesting part about horse hydration is we measure in gallons, not ounces, because they drink SO much compared to humans! The average horse, weighing about 1000lbs, should drink about 3-8 gallons per day or about 1 gallon per 220lbs of body weight. Hope this helps!
