There's decent horse space areas west of Ogden. It's a nice area, but depending on where you were to work for IHC might make that too much of a commute IMO. I lived in Ogden and worked at IHC's corportate office in the middle of downtown SLC. Most days I was able to time my commute right and it wasn't too bad. Other days...ugg.
There horse type areas closer to SLC, but they probably are not cheap. Also, look at Stansbury Park and Grantsville for horse type property. It's not a bad area. Back when I lived there the I-80 commute was one of the best if you worked in SLC. Stansbury to downtown SLC was about 30 minutes.
Also, West Valley had lots of crime and gangs when I lived there.
