No, 1 and 2 mean the same thing.
If you want 1 to mean something close to 3, then you need to add something to 1 that indicates he was elsewhere, but still in sight of the farm. Maybe this ...
From a hill across the valley, he saw some horses on the farm.
1. He saw some horses on the farm.
2. He was on the farm and saw some horses there.
3. He was not on the farm. He was a little far away from the farm. He was able to see some horses which are on the farm.
--------------------------------------
Does #1 mean #2 or #3?
If 'on the farm' is an adverbial phrase, #1 mean #2. If 'on the farm' is an adjective phrase, #1 is #3. Is that right?
