We have 50 acres more or less fenced for 7-8 horses (2 Belgians, 2-3
Icelandics, 1 Paint, 1 Paso Fino, 1 Fjord). There's a small barn/run-in
surrounded by a circular horse wire fence, it's about an acre (we call it
the hub). At the opposite end of the circle (inside) and downhill from the
barn
On either side of the hub are 20+ acre, very hilly
pastures with gates into the hub. We let them run in one section for about
1-3 months then switch them to the other side.
I know a couple of people that use the hub set up and it is very
functional - a really nice set up if you can do it with

I think it's interesting (and also pertinent to saddle
fit) to see the level of your horse's back while at
rest, then when he's saddled, and last of all, with a
rider aboard.
Here's a picture to check out.
