I've looked everywhere for these damn laws, can't find em.. How much land do you need to have to own a horse in St. Joseph County, Indiana? I've heard from some people it's 20 acres unless it was ment for horses, then it's 5... And I've heard from others it's just 5. Could I have some input on this?

as a horse owner I won't put one on less than 5 acres, therefore, if you have 10 horses, you need pasture space amounting to 50 acres.
As for your particular situation, you need to contact your local planning and zoning commission.

Yes you can. But my Hunter/jumpers would stomp my butt if I tried to be so chinzy with the alfafa. Besides, Arkansas hay is only good for Razorbacks, not good riding stock

I think you need to check with the Zoning office. Property needs to have the proper zoning to be able to keep animals. This usually falls under Agricultural use. Where I live in Arkansas, you can have a horse on 1/2 acre.
