We have a small field that backs on to a house and the person that lives there wants to rent the field for horses. The field is 2 aces i was just wondering how much Rent should charge?

How many horses is the question I guess......By the animal cattle can be anywhere from $6.50 to $10/ head /week down here.

£25 per horse per week . .....but they will wreck your field .

Horse needs water
sure, but if the field backs on to their house i'd let them hosepipe it, there's a horse trough over the fence from us has been running constant for years because they too lazy to level it up.

Whatever you charge it will not be enough to recompense you for the hassle of dealing with horses, horsey birds & subsequently getting rid of the docks, thistles & ragwort they leave your field infested with.

It's a pity, because I like horses and rode a lot when I was young, but I wouldn't have any on my land but my own, and I'm not quite daft enough to keep any. (Regardless of how much my girls protest!)
The reasons have already been given; they trash the place, most of the owners are bl**dy annoying and - for reasons I've never been able to work out - even when their feed is supplied by the landlord, they still leave new weeds everywhere.
That last point really is a mystery to me, I know of two cases where friends have let out some land and provided all hay / haylage to friends of theirs. The lands were free from ragwort before, but it was there afterwards and it didn't come from neighbouring fields. I guess the seeds get in via sneaked-in grain mixes.

I think the seeds establish (dropped by birds,wind blown or whatever) in the gaps caused by overgrazing, nothing to do with feed.

Charge £1000 per horse/year. Make sure they know it's a 2 horse maximum. And any hay they buy has to be from you.
(so they don't import weeds)
From their pov, £20/wk is a bargain-they probably spend that now on fuel to visit their horses.

If you stomp and poach a sward (and horses will) and create bare soil, the first thing to grow back will be weeds and other carp.
