In Santa Barbara county California the law states that you can keep one horse per 10,000 square feet, but you must have 20,000 square feet of land before being allowed to own horses at all. There are also other restrictions as to how far they must be kept from fence-lines and such as that so I would advise requesting a copy of your local zoning laws.
The number of horses allowed per acre is usually controlled by the county where the property is located.
Zoning varies by county and city more so than state by state. I suggest contact your local agricultural agency as they will likely can help you find out about your local zoning laws regarding horses.
Zoning is different for counties as well as cities, and covenants in subdivision may restrict numbers even further. For example: In my county you can have 4 horses per acre, in a neighboring county they allow only 2 horses, per acre. A subdivision in either county may only permit one horse per lot, even though the lot is 5 acres. Some subdivisions have more than one filing where one filing allows livestock and the other does not so seeing horses in a neighborhood is not a guarantee that all lots/houses can have horses. If you are part of a subdivision with convenants there will be documentation on the restrictions in your neighborhood.
Horses typically drink freshwater, such as from rivers, lakes, or water troughs. It's important for horses to have access to clean and uncontaminated water at all times to maintain their health and hydration. Saltwater and other types of contaminated water sources can be harmful to horses if consumed.
A farrier is a trained professional who shoes horses. They are responsible for trimming and shoeing horses' hooves to maintain their health and proper balance. Regular shoeing is important to prevent injuries and promote good foot health in horses.

about an acre will feed on easily. I would say if they are normal sized not draft horses then about 1/2 to 3/4 acres per horse with grain at least once a day.

It depends. There are county codes that deal with livestock, which is what horses are classified as. County codes differ from county to county and state to state. What is allowed in one place may not be in another. Some considerations are:size of lot, how your neighborhood is zoned (rural, agriculture), neighboring houses, many people don't want horses close by due to flies, manure, ect., fencing and outbuildings such as a barn or three sided lean-to as shelter. The best way to find what is required in your area is to visit your local county courthouse, code enforcement division. They will be able to clarify what codes will apply to your particular situation.
