It would depend on the age of the pony and where he is kept. All horses (or ponies) that are kept in a stall need to get out daily if at all possible. If he is kept in a large pasture he will exercise himself to a certain degree. An older pony will need and want less exercise than a young pony. If he has pasture-mates, they will run and play together. But for riding 3 to 4 times a week is ideal.

It is good for a horse to get at least one hour daily but if this is not possible leave your horse out to graze perfurably with other horses.

A miniature horse will need basic exercise, such as turnout time and some more intensive training such as in harness work. An hour or so a day should be enough to keep a mini fit and healthy.

Lunging is a great way for a horse to get exercise and to also help with balance and flexibility. If it is the only exercise that a Shetland pony will get for a day, up to 15 minutes is the maximum per side. The next session should not occur until 24 hours has passed.
