Nutrition and Diet As Pet

These ponies can survive on less food than owners might believe because they originated in harsh environments. Especially for new pony owners, overfeeding is usually a bigger issue than underfeeding. While other fodders, such as clover, can be excessively rich, high-quality grass hay is suitable. Furthermore, a pasture with less grass is ideal because a pony’s health may suffer from overgrazing in a rich pasture. Except for those with a high level of activity or a health condition, the majority of ponies don’t require concentrates or grains.
