Miniature Horse and Pony Feed (lbs/day)**
*This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of Purina® Miniature Horse and Pony Feed by 0.5 lb for every 1.0 lbs
of additional hay fed. EXAMPLE: Using the chart above, if feeding 7 lbs instead of 6 lbs of hay to a 500 lb light working pony, reduce Purina® Miniature Horse and Pony Feed
offered by 0.5 lb from 3.3 to 2.8 lbs per day.
**Do not feed less than 0.3 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day. EXAMPLE: A 200 lb miniature horse has two 100 lb increments (200 divided by 100 = 2). So for this horse,
do not feed less than 0.6 lbs per day (2 x 0.3 = 0.6 lbs per day). If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace Purina® Miniature
Horse and Pony Feed with Purina’s Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 12® or Enrich 32® Horse Supplement or WellSolve W/C®.
***If foal and mare are fed together, increase amount offered by 0.25 lbs per month of age (of the foal) per day for miniature horses, and 0.5 lbs per month of age (of the foal)
per day for ponies.

Feed at regular times. Do not feed more than 0.5 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight in one serving. Divide total
daily feeding into at least two servings with three daily servings preferred. Be sure to weigh your feed
using a scale. A small scale can be purchased in the fishing department of many sporting goods stores.
Feed horse in a natural position from troughs placed at normal head height or lower. Do NOT feed
free-choice (all the horse wants).
Reduce and /or delay feeding a horse that is hot, excited or showing pain, fever or diarrhea. Consult your
veterinarian if any problems arise. Prevent rapid eating.
Always feed a minimum of 1.0 to 1.2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight of good quality, clean hay or pasture.
Inadequate amounts or poor quality hay may lead to colic and other digestive disturbances.
Have plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times, except immediately after intense physical exercise.
Provide your horse with access to salt.
Maintain a regular deworming program, have the horse’s teeth examined annually and consult your
veterinarian on a regular basis.
