well it depends on what you can hanndle, you need to take in to concideration how many you can feed, how much room you have, if you can pay for vet things, and such. you should also so think about your experance, if you have never had horses, i would start with one, as they are a big responsibility. if you have some experiance, then you might want between, 2-5, or if you know a lot about horses and have them and have had them for a while, then i dont think you would be asking this question. also some people say about one horse per aker.

∙ 15y agolol, well it kinda depends on the horse breed and the gass type, but usually it's 2 horses to an acre, unless you have some breed of draft horse, drafts might need 1 each and, smaller ponies are about 3 to an acre. :) i have a halflinger and a shetland and we have 3 acres and we do just fine. lol :)

∙ 12y agoThere is no definitive answer to the question "How many horses can you put in a pasture". There are many considerations to the answer including: What kind of pasture, and the quality of the forage there, and the horse's size and its nutritional and exercise requirements.
