Can a horse get sufficient moisture/water from snow?

Horses Eating Snow For Moisture

Snow, although horses' LOVE to eat it, will NOT supply sufficient moisture to replace ANYTHING; nor can snow supply sufficient moisture in any amount!

DO NOT THINK that any amount of snow eaten can replace the normal amount of water that the horse will normally consume. If anything, in freezing weather the amount of water a horse consumes should increase by a significant amount.
