Best Answer

You feed mini horses the same feeds as you would feed a full size horse- just in smaller portions. A mini horse should eat 1.5-2% of its body weight every day in forage (pasture or high-quality hay). Depending upon its individual needs (temperment, health, amount and type of work being done- ie pasture pet, cart horse, performance horse), you would add grain and/or supplements.

There is no set amount of grain for a miniature horse's diet. Not all horses require grain, but grain is helpful if the horse can't maintain weight on forage alone.

Miniature horses eat the same things as regular horses. They just eat smaller amounts. Talk with a trainer or vet, if you can't figure out what amount.
