Yet, another horse question. horse experts ONLY!!?

Question

the last question i asked that had the same title as this, i need you to answer it again. (if you already answered it before.)

Why, because for some reason, it is not letting me on the page. it says the page is not availible. so just answer i again, and hopefully it will let me see it.

Answer 1

Stalls:

for ponies - at least 8 x 8

for horses - at least 12 x 12

for a large horse - 14 x 12 or bigger

idk about sq footage, but one horse needs about an acre and a half of land. That's if it has good quality grass. If there is not much good grass, you'll need more.

You don't have to have seperate areas, but it is good, because when grass gets short in one area, then you can let the horse in a different pasture while it grows.

Answer 2

wat r u talkin bout

Answer 3

You should probably have reposted your question. Genius!

10x12 for a small horse, 12x12 for a large horse.

For turnout without grass your horse can pretty much be in any size area. When my horse comes home his paddock with be 50x68, but there is no grass so he will be eating hay.

For grass turnout with one horse one acre should be plenty because the horse will rotate him/herself and not overgraze one area.

Answer 4

for my horses:

10x10 stalls (that was more then big enough for my 16.2 qh who never got stuck rolling in that stall, he did however get stuck with a blanket on in a 8x10 stall, thank god there was a girl there who knew what to do and cut his legs free and got him back up)

my first field was 1-1.5 acres, and we added another section on for replanting, bout half that size. we had 2 horses in those 2 fields.

next time around (when i buy a horse for myself) i'm going to put up 2-5 acres of fields and spilt them between 2-3 fields and then add on a run in shed at the top/back of the porperty. (i'm starting out with one horse but doing all the work to save up for 2-3 horses)

a good size stall is 10x10, and if you want to be covered go for the 12x12, but most stalls are 10x10 at boarding farms.

we dont have a ring to ride in, just trails, but i plan on adding that as well when i have the money.

good luck

Answer 5

Well, you would get better answers if you actually just said the question, because not everyone saw your first question. Most of us are clueless!

Answer 6

There is ideal, and there is bare minimum.  Carriage horses kept in big cities work all day, and are stabled in stalls the rest of the time.  That is not ideal, but it happens in every city that provides carriage rides.

Ideally, a horse stall would be at least 12' by 12' or larger for a horse, and could be smaller for a pony.

A paddock can be a half acre to provide for turnout, but it will be dirt and you will have to provide hay 24/7.  A full acre will sustain a single horse and keep grass if it is well drained and you properly maintain it, including harrowing, with periodic manure removal.

Ideally, you would have 2 -1 acre pastures, so you could rotate them and let them recover from grazing, mowing to about 4 inches to encourage the grass to grow.  

A separate area for a riding arena is also ideal...even a small 50 to 60 foot round pen would do.  I hope this helps.
