Basic HTML Version

Exercise your pony regularly.
Do not allow your pony to become overweight - go through
our nutrition article with your mum, dad or instructor.
Ask your vet at annual vaccine for dental check if they think
your pony is overweight.
Avoid lush grass (look out especially in spring and autumn).
Avoid frosty grass.
Feed a well balanced diet with plenty of fibre.
Feed a recommended vitamin and mineral supplement.
Avoid sudden diet changes.
Ensure feet trimming every 6 to 8 weeks,
maybe more often if your pony is prone
to laminitis.
