If I lease a section of property to keep my horse and the home/land owner sells the property, do I need to remove my horses?
I am keeping my 2 horses on the property of a home/landowner. If the home and property sells would I be required to remove my horses from the property?Currently, I have no written agreement with the owner and I pay on a month to month basis. Would it be wise to obtain a written lease with the owner for a term of lets say, 20 years? If I did have a written lease agreement such as this, would I be secure as far as my horses stay?

If you do not want to remove your horses from the pasture that you are renting any time soon I suggest that you have a written lease with the current owner for a set period of time, for example several years signed and dated by you both. If the property is then sold, the new owner takes title subject to your lease in place for its duration so long as you are not in breach of it.
Right now, since you are on a month-to-month oral lease, the current owner can simply give you 30 days notice to end your lease and you would have no legal recourse from what you have written in your question.
