How big is an ideal horse pasture?

How many acres per horse in Montana?
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. Though that's on excellent quality pasture: stocking rates may be a bit less on less-quality pasture. Not to mention that horses need room to run, unlike cattle, so you will need to add on a couple extra acres in addition to the amount that they will graze.
How much feed does a pastured horse get fed?
