The height of the horse doesn't have much bearing on how big the field should be. What counts is the horses health, activity level, lifestyle and the quality of the field. One acre is the bare minimum for one horse that will be grazing in a field, assuming the field is well maintained, if not you need to increase the size. However if the horse is on a restricted diet and is not able to graze then a 100 feet by 60 feet dry-lot set up can and does work just as well as a large field provided the horse has constant access to clean , fresh hay.

When does a horses need a blanket?
Horses do not really need a blanket and it is actually unhealthy for them to wear one as you can read in the related link. The only time a horse really needs a blanket is if you clip them in the winter, robbing him of his protection from the cold. To tell if your horse is cold, touch his ears. If they are cold, he is cold. If not, leave him be without a blanket.

What are horse nesecities?
Horses like humans, need constant access to water, as they cannot just get it themselves. They also need a proper diet, considering their size, breed, living conditions and work that is being done. Horses also need a nice cosy shelter, e.g. a stable, and preferably a field for turnout, which also has a shelter in it. Horses need exercise too. This can be done in the form of lunging, riding or being allowed to run free in a school or alike. Also, horses are herd animals, and thus do not like being left alone. It is better to have them at a yard with other people's horses or get them a companion yourself, for instances another pony, or just a pet such as a donkey or mule. Horses need lots of time and hard work too, so do not be a horse owner if you are limited on time. They need to be checked regularly for bumps and bruises, wormed and checked to make sure they are not ill. The owner takes responsibility for lots of the horses things such as feeding, making sure they have water, mucking out, grooming, exercising, turnout, training ( if younger horse ) and other optional things depending on what you use your horse for. Horses are a big responsibility and the time needed to look after them should not be overlooked.

This is an okay home for horses. The ideal home would be one that also has cover for getting out of the weather. The answer above is mostly correct.

A horse lives in a?
A horses best habitat is in a field with lush green grass and a stable at night time some places do not keep stables but just different fields which is also OK. Horses and ponies need a shelter which can be used if a horse goes lame. If you keep them out all the time you will need a starvation paddock. It doesn't sound nice but all it does is stop the horse getting overweight but it still has water and some grass. You need to make sure there is another field in winter just in case the field gets too muddy which can harm the horse.Hope you have fun on your horse
