Best Answer

The acreage limit for 1 horse is approximately 5 acres, but if you have 10 acres and it is good grass you can put 3 horses on the peice of acreage. If it is'NT good grass though you should only put 2 on there.

One horse needs one acre of fertile land. There should not be any harmful or posionous weeds/plants in the horse's pasture. If you have 2+ horses, you need the same amount of acres.

It really depends on the zoning, area, ect. Rule of Thumb says 1 horse per acre but there are many places where many horses are put on smaller plots of ground.

You will need more acres per horse in the southern part of Alberta than the north. Average is around 4 acres per horse, and up to 1.5 acre per horse in the northern parts.
