  Horse Pasture Rent

We have a hilly side to our property. My neighbor is interested in renting it for his thoroughbreds. He would put up the fence and possibly a run in shed. The field is in timothy and orchard grass. So...

1)What is fairmaket value on this land (Eastern Pennsylvania)? (approx. 4-7 acres)

2)What if we supply a hose for water? He said he would haul it in, but that sounds like a hassle since he lives about 1/8 mile from the land.

3)Any other things I should think about? I (try to) keep the ground hog population in control and we're calling our insurance agent on Monday.

Thanks for the quick response funchy, this came up this evening and my neighbor was really excited about it. I live near in the Lehigh Valley and he was talking long term. I think the word that jumped out at me the most was "contract".

As always, alot of good advice and answers to questions I haven't thought of asking. How about this question.

How many horses per acre is comfortable? Since the land is in various grasses, I would like to keep it going and not become a mud pit. He had owned land adjoining ours and kept it well maintained with regular horse activity.

Thanks for all the advise. He decided (I think it was his wife) that they don't have extra money right now to rent and fence extra land. I did do the math on my plot and it is only 3 acres that could have been used. From this and other sources, horses can be pretty hard on the land.

I did find a dairy farmer who is taking the grass this season, whoo, I don't have to cut it. I told my neighbor he can exercise his horses on it after the last cutting if he wants.
