Is 396gph for a 34 gal to much flow for horses?

The pump that my system came with pumps out 396 pgh which is a turnover rate of 11 is that much flow for the horses?

There's a lot of posibilities with flow. I was using my Ehiem PRO 2 on my 15 gallon pony tank which cycles which cycled the tank aprox. 18 times per hour. You just need something to buffer the flow.

as far as the flow goes, i would just pay attention to the horses if they are getting blow or not
