It depends on the individual animal and the food they are eating, as well as how active the animal is.
A very fit animal burning a lot of calories in competition, for example, could eat quite a lot with no risk of founder. On the other hand, a fat pony with little exercise could eat just a couple of pounds of grain a day and founder on it.
Ponies are more likely to founder than horses.

Horses that have previously foundered are more likely to founder.You can remedy this by putting Epsom Salts in their feed and water or by cutting off their food supply completely. Do this by putting them in a dirt floor stock yard or any other yard the horse cannot have access to food. I know what you're thinking! This is not cruel! It benefits the horse more than harms it. Do remember to provide fresh water with Epsom Salts. Occasionally, like every 2nd or 3rd day, you can give the animal 1 biscuit of plain hay. Don't feel sorry for the horse. If you continue to feed your foundered horse, the end result will be a can of Pal. Sorry, but that's the way it is. And remember to keep trimming the feet to keep them in good order.
