    It depends upon the sentence.

    If the family is Singular then the first sentence, "has" one, is the right one like

    My family has horses.



    But if the family is plural then the second sentence, "have" one, is correct like,

    Both side of my family have horses.

    Please check out this Has and have link. Hope this might help you.

    Have fun and enjoy blurting :)

      The family has horses.

      Has because the subject is family, which is singular.

      If the subject is our families (which is plural), then...

      Our families have horses is the right sentence.
