measuring pool shock treamentif its 1lb for 12,000 gallons than half of that would be 1/2 lb for 6000 gallons. 1/4 lb. for 3000 gallons.

I would use a little less than 1/4 lb. of Shock.

Maybe get a 1/4lb. and separate it into 3 equal parts. Then just use 2 parts for your 2000gallons pool.

How much blood can a horse lose before going into shock?

A horse has (Typically) 80 ml of blood per kg (hotblood breeds have 100ml per kg and coldblood breeds have 65ml per kg). Therefore and average 1,200 pound horse will have 12.3 gallons of blood. A horse must lose roughly 10% of it's blood to go into shock, which would be roughly 2 gallons of blood.
