Answer Question

Answer 1

You don't need to get two if you don't have enough land. One will be just fine as long as you give it tons of attention daily. They tend to be more friendly toward people if there is only one of them. If you still think that your mini is lonely then a cat, dog, pig, goat or even a chicken will keep a mini company. 3/4 of an acre would be enough for one mini. Hope I helped!

Answer 2

You should not have less then 1/2 acre. You don't have to have 2 minis as long as you spend a lot of time with your mini. 1/2 acre will not house 2 minis. You should have at least 3.4 acre if you want 2 minis, or they may start to feel crowded.

Answer 3

You have just enough room for 2 mini horses!go ahead and get one!two would be better but they might feel crowded just try to think about it. I am getting two in less then a week and I have five acres thats enough for 15 of them!well I hope I helped you out,yeah just go ahead and get one!please do if you want one that much get one you will also need a trailer to show it if you want to!

Answer 4

I believe that a miniature horse needs at least a huge backyard as long as you maintain it and give your horse as much attention as possible! If not than 3/4 of an acre will do!!!! O 1/2 of a acre if want him her to be happiest!

Answer 7

1 acre can house 2 minis 1 bag of grain can last a while and a bale of hay will last long to
2 cup of grain 2 times a day and 1 flake of hay 2 times a day per horse

Answer 8

For one thing you need to get 2 minis,don't keep one or they get lonely and insecure.They are herdanimals.that is more important.When it comes to space,a huge backyard would do it if you keep it well maintained

Answer 9

Miniature horses are much more sensitive to colic from pastures.

By law (if stated) you need x amount of land per equine different per county/state.

So that said. 60 ft round pen works fine for mini space/paddock

Kerping a miniature horse on the least amount of grain and off fresh grass is best.

A high quality 1st cut hay is more than enough spread out durring tge day. Or hung in small hole hay bag to keep busy for hours.

Minis dont weigh much and get fat easily. You dont need two but 1 mini needs alot of time spent, working, playing or you get a sour pony.

Dont feed a random cup of grain to any equine. They need a correct diet by weight of your individual horses needs.
