The ability to keep a horse in your backyard is determined by local zoning laws. You should contact your local agricultural association for more information. Many places have laws forbidding the keeping of livestock in backyards.

Can you keep a mini horse in a 40x40 backyard with proper care?

maybe. ask yourself this - is my backyard flat? does my backyard have adequate shelter,like a shed or a run-in? do i have a small barn or at least somewhere to go to get out of the rain and cold? is my backyard filled with weeds that could be poisonous to my horse? is my backyard filled with trees that could be hazardous in a storm, or produce nuts that could make my horse ill? do i live in a nieghborhood that will even accept a horse? will my land support him?or is it muddy with little grass? will he have company- if not another mini then at least a goat. horses are herd animals- without a conpanion they can become very ill. do i have good fencing? NEVER do barbed-wire badbadbad also none of that wire that looks like a grid he could catch his hooves in it. a sturdy non splintery wood fence is best. Do wild animals or snakes live around the area?do i have the money to pay for vet and farrier bills? will i rememer my horse's dewormer? can i pay for vaccinations? can i pay to repair any damages that may occur to the fencing or shelters? there is so much more too-but I'm getting bored. horses need a LOT of work, a LOT of love and attention and a LOT of money so just be careful... :)
