This depends on your location. Some cities or counties have their own guidelines as to how many horses you can have per amount of land. Typically though you can only have one horse per acre unless you put them on a 'dry-lot' system.

∙ 8y agoIt depends on what policy your state or county has. A general rule of thumb, one horse for one acer. But since horses are herd animals they do best with a companion. Most horses will be better off with another horse. Also as some regions such as the east coast can grow more forage rather then western regions are very 'plain' like. You can hold more horses on areas that can grow faster rather the areas were natural forage is scarce.

How many horses can you have on 4.5 acres?
Zoning is different for counties as well as cities, and covenants in subdivision may restrict numbers even further. For example: In my county you can have 4 horses per acre, in a neighboring county they allow only 2 horses, per acre. A subdivision in either county may only permit one horse per lot, even though the lot is 5 acres. Some subdivisions have more than one filing where one filing allows livestock and the other does not so seeing horses in a neighborhood is not a guarantee that all lots/houses can have horses. If you are part of a subdivision with convenants there will be documentation on the restrictions in your neighborhood.
