It is possible to keep a miniature horse in a good-sized backyard by <br />feeding hay and grain (check your zoning!). A bale of hay will usually last one miniature <br />horse two to four weeks, and approximately one pound of good grade commercial food <br />per 100 pounds of body weight is normally adequate as a daily ration for a stalled horse. <br /> <br />Like big horses, they need their shots and a good deworming program. Because of their <br />size, people tend to overprotect them; but miniature horses are just as hardy as any other <br />equine with regard to weather conditions. They need to be groomed as often as possible <br />and their feet trimmed at least six times per year. <br /> <br />http://www.minihorses.org/what_care_isJequired.htm <br /> <br />9/16/2007 <br />
