The actual daily amount of water that most horses need to consume (at a minimum) to maintain body functions and remain properly hydrated is from a half gallon to a gallon per 100 pounds of body weight.
How warm the water needs to be depends on the individual. Some horses will drink water that's 32.5* Farenheit! Horses are very suspicious about any change, so if they're used to the water getting cool as the weather cools off and you warm the water up, it's going to be different.
