There is such a wide variation from region to region and grass management issues,grass quality, size of horse ponies, quality of stables, will they be out all winter or in during the winter etc its to variable to answer really.

They use to say an acre a horse but in these days of quality grass management, lamanitis risk etc you have to weigh it all up.
