Poies are what people call easy keepers. They can get foundered eating lush grass for a long period of time. They also can get very fat which is unhealthy.
Typically spring is bad for ponies due to the new lush grass coming in. The ponies will overeat and give themselves Laminitis from it.
Besides a seahorse, a horse that has foundered on grass must be kept away from grass. Green, lush grass could kill an already foundered horse. (ponies are at greater risk)
a ponies habitat is mostly in a field or paddock with plenty of grass to eat
Shetland ponies do not live in the areas with animals that would consume them. Lions, Panthers and Leopards would eat Shetland ponies if they were in the same area.
ponies eat a normal horse diet, such as grain, hay, etc. and grass.
Horses (and ponies) eat grass. That makes them herbivores. They do not eat meat so they are not carnivores.
Welsh Mountain Ponies eat beetle larvae which are found in the ponies' dung. That IS NOT correct.. You should feed your welsh a good timothy or grass hay.
Shetland pnoies eat the same food that other ponies eat. Like hay, grain, and grass.
All ponies will eat some kind of flower. Not that they are very good for them- keep them on grass and hard feed.
No. Ponies and horses should not eat peanuts. Their stomachs do not digest them well. They can develop impaction colic.
Bog ponies are easier to make overweight, and that's the biggest problem. Regulate their feed so they stay a healthy size, and keep them off rich spring grass.
Yes it is wrong to eat ponies unless youre in the middle of nowhere and absolutly HAVE to.
