If you’re the proud new owner of an equestrian estate, horse ranch or horse farm, you’re about to start the fun part; taking care of it. Besides taking care of the horse real estate you also have to rake care of the horses.
Unfortunately, horses are not cheap to maintain, but owning a horse can be done on a budget. By far and away the easiest way to own a horse is if you have your own horse property, for every horse you have you should allow 1 acre of land. Of course this can vary depending on the type of land and the size and breed of your horses. After all, a 12hh pony won’t need as much land as a 16hh Clydesdale. Horses can also be relatively easy to look after. As long as they have food, water, shelter and companionship, they are pretty happy.
