Just a couple thoughts to consider. It's your place so it's yours to do what you want.
If you have very good pasture and keep up with it you should have at least 2 acres per horse and another two acres for the bovine. That is if you are rotating them on different paddocks so the grass has a rest between. Check with a local extension office or college of agriculture as to what the animals require before you get in too deep. Pigs don't require pasture but do much better (imho) on pasture then in a small pen.
So you are already down to 3/4 acre for the house, garage, yard and garden.
Do you really want a horse for riding or will it just be a lawn ornament? What are you going to raise on the two acres you are planning on farming? You will not raise enough feed for the horse and bovine. The space just isn't there. You will have to buy feed for the critters. You might want to choose one direction to go in and see how that goes first.
