| Blood |
| |
The amount of blood a horse’s body contains is about one-eighteenth of its total weight, distributed roughly:
25% heart and larger blood vessels
25% liver and intestines
25% muscle
25% other parts.
The heart pumps the blood to all parts of the body, and returns through veins, the heart acting as the pump.
