Acreage?!

3409 Views 14 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  jillybean19
So i've been reading a lot about acreage and laws regarding horse per acre.

I'm going to be moving to Lake Park, GA in late February, and i'm going to have one acre of land. Is that going to be suitable for one horse? I'll also have 20+ acres of land to ride.
I'll be living on family property, but as of right now, we're only fencing off one acre.
If anyone can help me out here, that would be great! :)

One acer isnt going to provide grass for long it will be to dirt in no time. I have 3 acers of pasture for 3 horses. They arent out on it 24/7 they get up too 8 hours a day if we have enough rain to keep it growing. In our county its 2 acers a horse but iv gotten by with only 3 but it is well managed. My horses dont go out if its too wet and i keep them off it once it grazed down to a inch and a half tall. Plus we do weed control also its never ending work to keep it nice. Plus we mow it twice a year and keep the poop picked up.
