Based on the acreage alone, that is WAY too small for horses. Depending on township zoning, horses may not be (and probably are not) allowed on a lot that small. A general rule to follow is 1 acre of fenced pasture per horse - this property doesn't even have space for 1 horse, honestly. 3 acres would be the absolute minimum I would advise for keeping horses, and in many townships near me the minimum is 5. Plus, with a tiny barn and a tiny amount of "pasture", you just can't make money by renting a place like that - it has little to no value for someone looking to rent a barn. NOPE! Move on!

Too many variables that can't be sogned away with waivers. Renting to horse people only works when you have the right person, I think it's too risky.
