Feeding a pony/horse

Depending on your horse, most horses would need a balanced diet of:

• Pellets
• Bran
• Barley
• Oats

Once or twice a week, you should also graze your horses or give them fresh hay and water. They need the nutrients. To help your horse with growth and health, get a mineral block or "salt lick" for your horse. They come in many different flavors, so choose your pick.

Horses may have treats such as:

• Mints (Lifesavers)
• Sugar Cubes
• Salt Lick Candy
• Apples/Carrots

Remember not to feed them too many. It will make the horse sick!

Buying a horse? Read this first!

So, you buying a horse? Well, these helpful tips might make it easier.
Firstly: Do you know how to ride AND take care of horses? It might make things easier if you take lessons at a stable BEFORE buying!
WHAT HORSE? WHAT BREED? Depending on your height/Weight, you need to find a horse that would suit YOU! If you're a starter/beginner, you'll probably need a pony. When you think of ponies, you think of small horses, BUT ponies can be up to 14.4 hands high! Ponies are a little bit smaller than horses AND usually have a more gentle temperment. A good horse for, like, a 10-14 year old would be a welsh cob or quarter pony.
WHAT AGE? Well, most people think you need a young horse to "Grow up with" but, a horse around 5-12 years old would be perfect.
