Miniatures are prone to overeating and can develop problems from excessive food intake.
Nutrition for Miniature horses is similar to that for large horses, but the differences in body size must always be remembered. Miniature horses will normally require a daily ration of one pound of hay per 100 pounds of body weight for maintenance. Two feedings daily are minimum when feeding hay to Miniatures because of the size of their intestinal tract and the need for continual movement of food through the system. Plenty of clean water should always be available. As with all horses, feeding should be tailored to the individual animal.
