What do ponies eat? Hay and haylage is made from grass. In the summer the grass is allowed to grow long, then it is cut and allowed to dry for 2-4 days. The farmer makes it into bales and stores them for the winter. When should ponies have water? Ponies should have clean, fresh water at all times. Can you fill a haynet? You may be allowed to try filling a haynetit is not as easy as it looks! People who work with horses and ponies fill lots of haynets everyday! Grass is the natural food for horses and ponies. During summer there is a lot of goodness in the grass. In the winter months grass is not so nutritious, it is good to feed hay or haylage to our ponies in the winter to keep them healthy. If our pony is working hard we can give him etra food to keep him healthy and strong. We can feed a specially prepared horse and pony mi and also carrots, ponies love carrots! 29
