I am planning on buying pig oil and sulphur this year for the horses, but don't know whether to buy one 5 litre pot or 2.

I will be doing 7 horses with it. How long does one pot usually last one horse?
 
I had a 5 litre one last year - put it on every 6 weeks (after farrier) and I have at least half left. So that is approx 2.5 litres used on one horse over winter with 6 weekly applications.

I didn't had mud fever to treat though - just sloshed it on for protection from mud so I didn't have to wash legs (as pony hates hoses and I hate doing it)
