Sizing your pasture Pastures can usually provide enough forage for one horse for every two acres during the grazing season. Soil type, grazing practices and weather can all affect how many horses a pasture area can support.

* This definition of a paddock should not be confused with the division of a pasture into grazing cells, which may also be called paddocks. Size ? Minimize the size of the paddock or corrals. There should be at least 600 square feet per horse but paddocks should be less than one acre.

An average-sized horse should have a minimum of 400 square feet of turnout space. But providing 1000 sq ft or more per horse will encourage movement and better herd dynamics.

The statute protects against liability for the death or injury of a person directly and willfully engaged in livestock activities. Statute protection applies where the death or injury of a participant results from the "inherent risks of livestock activities." There are many statute protection exceptions.

The keeping of one horse requires one acre of land for the home plus two acres of dry, upland pasture. Each additional horse requires one additional acre of pasture. Wetlands and wetland buffers cannot be considered pasture. A minimum of three acres is required in order to have the first horse.

Decide what divisions and classes you'll include. Hire judges, stewards, an EMT, a show secretary (if you're not planning to do it yourself), an in-gate person, and an announcer. If necessary, line up a farrier and a veterinarian to be on call or hire them as well. Make a plan for the show grounds.
