    NUTRITIONAL NEEDS

    Minis eat the same feeds that large horses eat, including grains and hay. The only difference is the amount that is consumed. A square bale of hay will last a miniature horse three weeks. A large round bale of hay can last a mini through the winter, where the same amount would only feed a regular horse for about a month. However, minis are prone to overeating, so it is important to monitor their nutritional needs and to avoid a heavy food intake. (Wallers Mini Horses)
