Miniature horses are honestly not meant to bear any weight upon their backs. They're really best for pulling carts. But if your goal is to photograph your granddaughter atop the back of your mini for a moment, I'd say you should seriously reconsider putting anything near 40 pounds on his or her back for any amount of time. Remember, they're not ponies, they're horses. There's a difference.

Materials used in construction only become a significant weight factor in larger trailers such as a 3-horse and larger.A 2-horse with dressing room will weight about 3,300 lbs.

How do you train a horse to be ground tied?
This can take some time. With the horse saddled and bridled up, also put a halter on it, tie a rope to the halter and to a weight, get on and then off and walk a few feet away. The horse will try to walk off but will have to drag the weight. Now if you want to be really careful you can tie a longer rope also that you can hold so the horse wont take off running if spooked by the weight. When you dismount always take the reins down or off over the horses head and drop them so they touch the ground. If the horse really drags the weight you need to find a heavier one. Let the horse wonder awhile and then mount up again. Do this several times and each time walk off a little further for a little longer and soon your horse will get the idea. As soon as your horse does not move the weight, you can lighten it a bit until you are only using the reins for a weight. Now this will take maybe days to teach. Be patient, your horse may have to drag the weight until it gets tired of it. This will work. *

If a horse eats 2.2 pounds of feed per 100 pound body weight how much should a 900 pound horse eat?
for howrse ... 19.8 Answer 2: Horses require anywhere from 1% to3% of their body-weight in feed a day. Going by a strict number such as 2.2 pounds of hay per 100 pounds of body-weight can cause problems if the horse is an easy or hard keeper as it may be too much or too little. However at 2.2 pounds per 100 pounds of body-weight for a 900 pound horse that would equal out to 19.8 pounds of hay a day. ( 2.2 x9=19.8).
