What do you feed a senior horse?

What you feed to a senior horse will depend on how health the horses teeth are. Horses are considered seniors once they reach 15 years of age and older. Typically once a horse reaches this age it will begin to lose some ability to chew tougher food and will require more dental maintenance.

The best thing to do is consult with both a equine veterinarian and a equine nutritionist on what would be best for your individual horse. However the most common things fed to senior horses are: Soaked beet pulp, hay pellets, hay cubes (soaked), senior feeds either pelleted , textured, or extruded, flaxseed (linseed) , rice bran, and many other things.
