    This document provides information on the basic needs of ponies and checks that should be made for pony paddocks. It lists that ponies need clean water, food, shelter, and company year-round.

    Perfect Paddocks – draw a line from the sentences to the picture that they are talking about

    All ponies need to be able to spend some time each day exercising and relaxing
    outside. There are certain things we need to check to ensure that they are safe and
    secure.

    Must be a suitable
    height and be strong
    and secure. There
    should not be any
    broken or sharp bits.
    Must be made from Droppings
    something that is safe
    for horses to be near.

    Must be removed
    as soon as they Ponds
    are found.

    Must be removed
    regularly to help
    control worms and Litter / Holes
    keep grazing fresh
    and clean.

    Should be fenced
    off to prevent
    horse drinking
    unhealthy water. Fencing

    Should be
    checked for
    daily and
    removed or
    filled in.
    Poisonous Plants
    Pony Club D Test – Basic Needs of Pony

    Poisonous Plants
    There are lots of plants that are poisonous to ponies. Ponies usually will not eat them unless they
    are very hungry, but we should always be very careful to prevent that from happening.
    Poisonous plants should be removed immediately and ideally burnt. Some can be controlled with
    weedkillers, but care must be taken not to graze ponies on treated land again until it is safe to do
    so.
    Some trees leaves and fruit are also poisonous. Ponies should not be grazed near these trees when
    they are dropping their leaves or fruit. Seedlings from certain trees (such as sycamore) are also very
    poisonous and should be removed as soon as they are seen.

    These are the main poisonous plants you should be able to recognise

    RAGWORT FOXGLOVE

    ACORN

    DEADLY
    NIGHTSHADE

    HEMLOCK
