Seems like way too many horses for that amount of land. I have 2 on
about 6 acres. We've had a herd of 4 and we almost lost the front
pasture. It's divided into front & back. My Fjords really like
rubbing on trees and they eat the moss, too. Oh, they a

My turnout is partially hardwood (oak, maple, hickory, birch and the odd
evergreen), partially apple orchard and partially open field. They frolic in
the field, stroll around or hide in the hardwoods and hang out under the apple
trees...as you might e

Also, the horses might kill the trees. Some are very destructive to living
trees. Some are not. I don't know if you are concerned about the trees, but
just a warning in case you are.

I agree with Mary that you need to make sure that none of the trees are poison

Our horses are turned out in a wooded paddock. Only problem we have is the
grass does not grow as well because of the shade. So you may have to give
more hay.

if you want the acreage to support the livestock. That many horses will

Why exactly would wooded pasture present a problem? I've had horses all my
life and most of the time it's been on pastures with all kinds of trees. The
only issue I can think of is if it's Oak trees with excessive acorns, and a
horse that actually LIKES acorns. Wo

What do folks think about turning out an established herd of 5-8 horses on a 4
acre parcel of hardwood trees that is maintained, ie: fallen branches are
cleared periodically.
I am looking at a property for sale with limited grass pasture. The owners
claim they
