A horse or pony should be fed between 1% to 3% of it's bodyweight in food a day. The base of the diet should always be forage such as hay or grass, with supplemental feeds added if they are needed.

As with any horse they eat according to their weight /size and the work they do...For example (this is one way I do it)...serve about 1 pound per hand...if the horse is around 14 hands high then you (theoretically) would give it 13-14 pounds of hay per day and 20 to 30 ounces of grain a day (corn, oats, barley).

Well. Are they being worked out? If so, Then maybe 1/2 of a pund, and If not maybe 1/3 a pund. But the best way to find out is to ask your vet.

Tht will depend on the minis' weight. Weigh the horse divide the weight by 100 and then multiply that answer by2.0 to get the amount in pounds that it should be eating.

Technically yes, horses can eat golden syrup. However it is not recommended that you give it to them as it is pure sugar and horses do not need added sugar in their diet.
