Kentucky is one of the most suitable locations to raise horses in the United States, thanks to its limestone-rich Lexington city. Lexington soil has the right amount of nutrients required for bluegrass proliferation. In addition, bluegrass is nutritious for horses. Any farm in Kentucky that has a combination of edible grasses for horses is a potentially suitable horse farm, provided a minimum of 70 percent of the farm serves as pasture. Besides bluegrass, some other suitable grasses for horses are tall fescue, bermudagrass, and orchard grass.

A two-acre farm is sufficient for a single horse, but this measurement is not rigid. With efficient grazing management and pasture cultivation, raising more than one horse on a two-acre farm is possible.

A barn is necessary on farms to provide shelter for horses. Suitable horse farms have barns located near the entrance. Each stall in a barn should measure a minimum of 10-foot by 10-foot. Aisleways should be 12 feet wide.
