I haven't had any issues with our ponies or minis with pasutre, feed or hay. I believe that keeping them on a routine of feeding is helpful. And the two mares of ours that are bred look to be progressing normally in belly size and condition. The major difference I see and hear about is that my ponies and minis are NOT pasture orniments. They are worked and/or ridden a few times a week. I think most people focus in only on feeding issues and never realize that just like a big horse, they can get fat and out of condition without exercise........just like us humans. Train them to drive or even simply to run an obsticle course or jump course. Get them moving.
