The Miniature Horse has a delicate digestive system like all
horses, and they should be on a feeding program depending on
the horses age, use, condition and the time of the
year. Feeding at a regular time each day along with
gradual changes as needed in the diet, will hep prevent feed-
associated diseases such as colic and founder.
For the average Miniature, a combination of legume hay, such as
alfalfa, and oat hay provides an excellent source of the
necessary protein, energy and vitamins. In addition, a
trace mineral salt block and clean water should be available
at all times!!
For the working, growing, pregnant or lactating horse,
additional energy and protein should be proveded in the form
of grain or pelleted supplements.
By providing a sound nutritional program, your Miniature Horse
can be expected to live a long and healthy life.
