Best Answer

To feed a horse or pony a treat or small gathering of hay, simply put your hand near the horse's mouse, with your hands flat, gently.
To feed a horse or pony a flake (about a 2 feet by 2 feet piece of hay) put the flake in a feeding tub.
Horse's need a lot of food, especially depending on their size. A horse about 12-14 hands (a pony)should eat about a flake a day. A horse 15-19 hands should have 1 1/2 -2 1/2 flakes. If the pony seems desperate for food, this could mean they need to be fed more.
If your horse or pony refuses to eat or drink water get medical help immediately. This is called colic.

Ponies and horses are all designed to eat throughout the day. Ponies and horses that are kept in a stable or paddock without grazing will need to be fed a minimum of twice daily, and preferably three times each day or more.
