What age should I choose a senior feed?

Although we commonly consider 16 and over as senior, with modern veterinary knowledge and better care many horses are still thriving in their 30s. You know your horse best so look for signs of ageing or speak to one of our nutrition specialists for more specific advice.

What’s the difference in the senior feed range?

SPILLERS senior feeds are designed to be extra tasty, be easier for them to eat as their teeth start to age and all support digestive health. SPILLERS Supple & Senior Balancer and both senior mixes include joint supporting ingredients, have added respiratory support and elevated levels of immune support.

Which is the best feed for a senior horse with bad teeth?

SPILLERS Senior Super-Mash would be our top recommendation for horses who start to struggle with eating traditional feeds and for those who can no longer eat much forage and fibre it can be used as full or partial hay replacer too! For good doers choose the lower calorie SPILLERS Speedy-Mash Fibre. Use our Interactive Decision Tree to help you select the best product for your horse's specific needs.

How do I know which feed is safe for my horse/ pony at risk of laminitis?

Both SPILLERS Senior Super-Mash and SPILLERS Supple & Senior Balancer are low in sugar and starch and therefore are suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis.
