Well, it would be very cruel to keep a horse in a block that is very small. Horses usually love to run in freedom and not being locked up. It's just like humans, you can't sit in a confinded space for the rest of your life. You would like to at least get out and do something. I would say no, but its totally up to you. I would say the smallest paddock for a horse to be in would be 5 acres, no less.
Just one more thing, if you were to have a horse in half an acre, the grass in that very small paddock will be eaten by the horse within 24hrs to 36hrs.

∙ 12y agoOne fourth of an acre may suffice, as long as you have somewhere else (an arena, etc.) to exercise the horse. If not, it may not be enough room for the mini to get adequate exercise, as well as an adequate amount of grazing. Be sure to provide the right amount of hay and/or grain to supplement the limited amount of grass.

∙ 12y agoYes, depending on the size. You will need to poo pick every day and you may want to fertilize it too, just to keep the grass lush.

What size of paddock does a horse need?
At least half an acre. The size of the paddock will depend on how you intend to keep the horse. If you are going to use a 'drylot' system, then a horse needs a paddock around 100' x 50 to 70' (feet) in size. If the horse will be on limited grazing, then a quarter to a half acre would be better.

How much space do miniature horses need?
It doesn't really matter what state, but a miniature pony should have a highly grassy area, half an acre should be enough for one, but 1-2 is capable of holding more. Must be a field, but if that is not available then hay is a must year round Very expensive!
How much land is needed for a horse?
It is a general rule that for each horse you own you must have at least one acre. It's a law actually. It is a law in some places that you must have one acre per horse, but some places will even allow you 5 horses per half acre, if you have stable facilities. However, you should have enough space for the horses to be able to graze, that is the point in the space, for grazing without killing everything, and enough space for them to get exercise. Hope this helps
