It is a general rule that for each horse you own you must have at least one acre. It's a law actually. It is a law in some places that you must have one acre per horse, but some places will even allow you 5 horses per half acre, if you have stable facilities. However, you should have enough space for the horses to be able to graze, that is the point in the space, for grazing without killing everything, and enough space for them to get exercise. Hope this helps

A general guideline is about 1 to 2 acres of land per horse for grazing and exercise. However, the specific amount can vary depending on factors such as the horse's size, exercise regimen, and whether additional hay or feed will be provided. It's best to consult with a veterinarian or equine specialist to determine the exact needs for your horse.

If the horse will be living out at grass, then one acre. Two acres for the first horse, then one acre for every horse after that. It's generally best not to keep one horse alone. They are herd animals and require companionship.

Generally an acre is a good minimum per horse but many people house horses on much less. Horses often live is stalls tat are no more than 12'x12' (with ample turnout time of course) The biggest thing to consider is keeping up on the manure removal from whatever area you keep your pony in to keep the area sanitary; Additionally, if the area is too small, in the winter it will get very muddy when the pony moves about in a small area constantly. Hi! I'm the one who asked the question. I mean how much does, say, a Welsh Pony nee, in pasture area?

Quite a lot. They need to have enough room at least for them to run full speed.

Hope that helps At least one acre per horse. Check Zoning Regulations. Some areas require three acres.

Generally, all you need is a medium sized field and some shelter for your horse (i.e a stable). You could always keep it in a yard but then theres the boarding fees.

It matters on the size on the horse but for a horse to live comfortably they need about 1/2 an acre-1 acre.
