How many horses can you have on one acre?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It 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.
