Horses and ponies kept in a good pasture usually don't need extra feed, so long as the pasture is nutritionally balanced. Watching the pony's body condition and weight will help you determine if he needs an extra supplement of hay or grain. If he appears underweight, first take care to give him a wormer and a check to be sure he is otherwise healthy before feeding him supplements. Ponies and supplements like grain often don't do very well together. Ponies are usually very easy keepers and giving grain can cause him to founder. Ponies were bred to survive on very, very little, so overfeeding is a dangerous problem for them.

What is the best feed to give a lazy pony?

Well this would depend on why the pony is lazy and what kind of work it is being asked to do. If the pony is lazy due to lack of energy, you may wish to add more calories or protein to the diet by feeding better quality hay or possibly a pelleted feed designed for ponies. If the pony is lazy due to temperament, then you'll need to retrain the pony rather than change it's feed.
