horse pasture

Equine grazing land

A horse pasture is a fenced area of grazing land where horses are kept.

The term emphasizes both the enclosure and its purpose—providing horses space to graze, exercise, and roam: The mare spent her days in the horse pasture behind the barn.

Unlike open rangeland, a pasture implies managed grassland with defined boundaries.
