Are any of these horse properties adjacent? If so, look into leasing 4 to 4.5 acres to them for pasture. Or get some goats, as they will eat nearly anything. Just be prepared; they can be difficult to keep in one place if they get a mind to go wandering.
Goats aren't a bad idea. But having someone else bring their goats to graze it down is the way to go.
To keep it tamed enough would require a significant number of goats. Unless you are used to raising livestock... goats in particular... I don't recommend being the owner. Keeping goats healthy is a lot more than just keeping them fed and watered.
I've been breeding sheep for almost 25 years. We have to rotary cut the pastures even with the sheep grazing on them since they don't like to eat all types of vegetation (and we have more pasture than the sheep can eat down).
