Where I live, NEPA, you have to have 2 acres. Not per horse, just 2 acres. We have 9 minis and 8 big horses on 2.25 acres. The paddocks are each about 3/4 and 1 acre, with a 48'x72' pen. Our horses are healthy, kept with as much hay as we can manage, and happy. Everybody just gets rotated to a different paddock regularly and the manure is kept on the opposite side of the property, also taken away by a local farm every spring. Is it ideal? No, but three of them got dumped on us, and three others are for sale. But as long as everyone's happy and healthy that's really all that matters.
