You do not want to treat the entire pond with Cutrine Plus Algaecide all at once so that you do not harm the fish or other aquatic life. You will need to treat 1/2 of the pond and wait 2 weeks and do the second treatment. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
The product label does not specifically mention the affect on equines. We would ask that you call the manufacturer of Cutrine Plus Algaecide directly as they are the true experts on their own product. You can reach them at 1-800-558-5106.
We apologize but we would need to know what type of algae you are treating for, how large the pond is, and what density/concentrate of algae you have in order to provide you with an accurate answer. You can also look at the charts on the Cutrine Plus Product Label to help determine coverage area.
If your pet drank some of Cutrine Plus Algaecide, it's possible it could make him sick. We recommend to contact or go to your vet and have the safety data sheet on hand.

We recommend to treat 1/2 of your pond first and wait 14 days to treat the other 1/2 of the pond to avoid fish suffocation caused by oxygen depletion from decaying algae.
