They can eat it, but it's not recommended to feed them things like this. Ponies and horses need lots of long stem fiber in their diets and this is best provided by grass or hay. A equine needs to eat between 1% to 3% of their bodyweight in food daily. Most of this should be forage, rice is usually a starchy feed and breaks down into carbs and sugars which is usually not good for ponies and it will not satisfy their need to graze. Some veggies in the diet is healthy for them, but too many can cause digestive upset. Unless a equine veterinarian or equine nutritionist approves a specific diet it is best to stick with the basics.
