This will vary depending upon how irregularly your horse's teeth are worn, the horse's temperament (will it let the veterinarian or equine dentist float the teeth without sedation), who is doing the procedure (veterinarian or lay equine dentist) and what type of equipment the person has.

A veterinarian floating a horse's teeth with manual equipment and no sedation on a horse with fairly level teeth may only charge $40-$75. Use of sedation, power equipment or complicated wear patterns including waves, hooks and points may cost up to several hundred dollars to straighten out. If your horse's mouth has any of these problems, you should really use a veterinarian to get the teeth leveled out properly and safely.

An equine dentist is a person who is not a veterinarian, and may have little to no training on how to perform a float properly. This person will also not have access to sedation and should never been seen using power float equipment (for the safety of the horse, power float equipment should only be used on horses that have been heavily sedated). They tend to cost less per procedure, but some veterinarians have raised concerns about some equine dentists causing more damage and problems than were present before they worked on the teeth.

How much is a float for a miniature ponies?

Well by float do you mean dental float or float as in a horse trailer? If you mean dental then you should expect to pay $75 or more depending on what needs to be done (This is a US price.) If sedation is required you'll need to bring out a equine vet which will add to the cost. If you mean trailer then the cost will vary based on model, year made, and condition it's in. $ 2,000 would be a bare minimum price for this.
