There is a huge difference in the quality of lifestyle between having bumpy roads and a well-maintained pathway. 

Fencing 

You do not want to lose horses, right? Then, look for properties that are properly fenced. You want your horses to wander around your property and not somebody else’s. Proper fencing would also secure your horses and it minimizes the chances of being stolen. Besides, you will eventually fence a property without a fence.
