Quote:modern Celtic breeds can live off low value foods, the horses, at least, may be possible,
A 13 hand pony can live off grazing. Apparently 2 acres for the 1st horse and 1 acre per extra horse thereafter. Thats roughly ;
130 yards x 66 yards = 1 hos
130 yards X 130 yards = 3 hos
260 yards x 260 yards = 14 hos
Now that aint a lot of land. Maiden castle is 47 acres and could have housed 30 hos very comfortable and 46 at a push..
Sorry about the hos, i read a lot of westerns :roll:
