I hope that you are not just keeping your pony tied up in one place all the time. Ponies need time to walk around and exercise for most of the day. Ponies are not dogs, they need a lot more care, unkeep, and attention. Keep a watchful eye, have a vet on call most of the time, and make sure they are getting the right nutrition.
