Mini's are quite hardy and only need a basic run in shed and a turnout area. The run in shed should be at least 12' x 12' though, just incase you wind up getting a bigger horse at some point. And a basic 32' wide by 100' long drylot turnout will do. Of course with the drylot system you'll have to provide hay 24/7.

What kind of area do horses need to be kept in?
It depends on what kind of horses coat your horse has all year round. If it has a thick coat then it would be fine in a weed-free paddock. If your horse has a smooth, fine coat it would probably need some sort of sturdy shelter against the cold. If your horse is an 'outside' horse, it would need a winter cover. It would also need some trees for shelter. It needs to have a fence and a gate. If you have a 'inside' horse you will need the sturdy shelter, a heavy winter cover and basic stable things. Hayley

What do you need to own a miniature horse in your backyard?
Miniature or draft, a horse is considered livestock. There are very specific laws and regulations that pertain to livestock and/or farm animals. The first thing you need to do is find out if your property is zoned to allow horses. If the zoning is right then you need to provide a shelter and good fencing for your mini. If you have neighbors close it is advised to make sure they won't mind having a horse next door. There is the smell, manure disposal, fly control, dust problem to name a few. This is an important point. You won't enjoy your mini if neighbors are complaining and calling the code enforcement on you. I have given you a place to start so do your homework checking with the county and good luck.
