How many horses are reccomended on 5 acres fenced in Kentucky?
I live in Kentucky and am wondering how many horses can 5 acres hold? I am not sure on the ratio between horses per acre? How many horses can stay on 5 acres? Thanks!!!
If you are planning on feeding hay in your pasture then you should be able to hold 20 horses but if you’re looking for pasture that would sustain horses, then 5 acres MIGHT be enough for ONE horse. Remember that their hooves are going to turn over the turf.
You didn’t say if you were going to plant the acreage. You could section it off say in 2 acre parcels and let one grow while the other is feeding your horse then rotate. You’ll also need a watering system for the pasture as well and best works if set in the fencing because under ground pipes with in the ground water sprinklers don’t do well with horses.
