1 acre = 1 furlong x 1 chain = 66ft x 660ft = 43560 sq ft
=> 1/4 acre = 43560/4 = 10890 sq ft

An acre is 43,560 square feet
so 1/4 acre is 10,890 square feet
Acre
The acre is an English unit of measurement used for both lineal distance and area of land. "Acre" is an Old English word meaning a field and was originally defined as the area that could be plowed in a day by a yoke of oxen.
The lineal acre is equal to the length of the side of an area acre or approximately 208 feet.
An area acre is an area of land one furlong (40 rods or 10 chains) long by 4 rods (or 1 chain) wide. Thus an acre is 10 square chains, 160 square rods, 43,560 square feet, 4840 square yards, 1.184 arpent or 0.4047 hectares. There are exactly 640 acres in a square mile.

In my experience, when the humane society goes out, they give people a chance first. So likely they went out and told the owners they have a month or week, or whatever, to move the horse. A lot of times, they will say this and mention that they should not hear any more complaints. Especially in Tennessee, from what I have heard, the humane society is overworked with horses that are abandoned. Call the humane society again. Also call some animal rescues. If they have room for horses and call the humane society about those horses, the humane society may be more willing to take the horses away. Without anywhere to put the horses, the humane society may be reluctant to take them - it isn't right to take horses out of one bad situation just to put them in another. Also, verify your laws - in Maryland, the law is that so long as you have one acre you can have horses. It does not specify how many horses can be on that acre. So you can have 20 horses on that property and you are not breaking the law. If I ask my vet what he recommends, he will say you need one and a half acres per horse for proper grazing and running land. Also, that acre can include the house, barn, etc - that is not one acre of fenced property. The humane society has to go by the rules - the owner is not breaking the law as long as the animal has shelter, food and water. If the law does not state a certain acreage per horse, and the owners can show shelter, water and food for the horses, they are not breaking the law and the humane society cannot do much.
