I Have Two Horse Chestnut Trees Growing Side By Side, Should I Cut Back The Small One Or Try And Pull It Out Or Can I Leave Them?

Grew horse chestnut saplings from conkers and two came up so transplanted together and now realize they should not be so close. Do I just cut the small one or try and remove but worried will damage roots of bigger one.

You can cut the smaller one off at the ground. It may grow back but just keep cutting it off at the ground. They are so close, it may disturb the roots of the larger one if you dig it up, as you say.
