Around 2,500 horses!
Over 200 camels and 2,500 horses were used in the shooting of the film, with some 10,000 extras.

And after the film was completed?
Some of the horses were adopted by the men who trained them, while others were sold. Many of the camels, donkeys, and other exotic animals were sold to circuses and zoos in Europe.
