  • Résumé

  • Feeding senior horses especially over the winter can be a challenge as many lose condition over these colder months. Some senior horses require different approaches to feeding to ensure their needs are met as what worked in their younger years may not work any more. Chewing can become a challenge requiring frequent dental care and the possibility of needing alternative feed forms. Additionally some senior horses may benefit from supplements like joint support or digestive aids due to arthritic changes and less efficient digestion. By understanding these needs, paying close attention to their diet, overall health and living situation we can help senior horses live happy and fulfilling lives.

    In this episode we discuss:
    When does a horse become a senior horse;
    What is any special nutrient requirements senior horses have;
    What senior feeds are and when they may be necessary;
    Other alternative feed forms that may benefit senior horses;
    Dental needs and limitations senior horses;
    How pain may impact your senior horse's body condition;
    If and when to use blankets with your senior horse;
    And so much more!
