My horse is a senior
As a horse gets older, its nutritional needs change. The teeth deteriorate, digesting nutrients can become less efficient, muscle mass is lost more easily and maintaining a healthy weight can become harder. Yet getting older doesn't mean a horse automatically has to lose condition or vitality.
The foundation remains enough quality roughage, high-quality protein and a balanced supply of vitamins and minerals. That way the older horse gets the nutrients it needs to support muscle, condition and overall health.
A senior horse doesn't always need more feed, but it does need feed that better matches the changing needs of an ageing body.
- Drops quids or eats more slowly
- Loses weight or muscle mass while the ration stayed the same
- Less fit or vital than before
Same needs, different form.
Keep an eye on dental checks and on the form in which you feed: roughage that's easier to eat and more feeding moments often help more than a bigger portion.
