Horses are considered livestock under Connecticut state statutes, so you need to understand how your town views farm animals. Other Services: A horse requires much in the way of maintenance, and you will need to seek the services of others, such as farriers (blacksmiths), veterinarians and trainers.

If you are attempting to figure the carrying capacity of land for a horse, then a good rule of thumb is 1-1/2 to 2 acres of open intensely managed land per horse. Two acres, if managed properly, should provide adequate forage in the form of pasture and/or hay ground. But this is highly variable depending on location.

In general, you need 2?4 acres per horse if you want them to be out all the time and not overgraze a pasture. Most farm owners don't have this much space, but with more intensive grazing management, you can maintain horses on fewer acres and still have great pastures.

Anytime you plan on selling, buying, or transferring ownership of a horse from one person to another, you will need a Horse Bill of Sale. This sales document is essential in detailing everything related to the purchase and transfer. This is a legally binding document.

The bill of sale should include the horse's name, breed, age, color, markings, registration number, and unique characteristics. It should also include the date of sale, the purchase price, the method of payment, and any conditions of the sale, such as warranties or guarantees.
