How many horses can graze per acre?

In: Cattle Feeding and Pasture Management [Edit categories]

Answer:

lol, well it kinda depends on the horse breed and the gass type, but usually it's 2 horses to an acre, unless you have some breed of draft horse, drafts might need 1 each and, smaller ponies are about 3 to an acre. :) i have a halflinger and a shetland and we have 3 acres and we do just fine. lol :)
