Keep your older horse feeling their best with senior horse feeds designed for easy digestion and balanced nutrition. As horses age, their dietary needs change, and senior feeds provide the right mix of fiber, protein, and essential nutrients to support weight maintenance, joint health, and overall well-being. Whether your horse needs extra calories, softer feed for easier chewing, or digestive support, the right senior feed keeps them strong and active.
Senior horse feeds help older horses stay in peak condition by addressing their evolving dietary needs. With Autoship from Chewy, you can have your senior horse’s favorite feed delivered on a customized schedule, ensuring they always have the nutrition they need without the hassle of reordering.
Each horse's individual nutrition needs will vary and determining if your horse should transition to a senior feed will depend on their overall health, ability to maintain weight, and the kind of work they do as they age. Generally, many horses start to switch to a senior feed between 15 and 20 years old.
Some active senior feeds may have higher fat content to help your horse maintain weight. However, if you notice your horse losing weight or struggling to gain on a senior feed, your veterinarian should perform an exam to ensure there are no underlying health conditions that could be contributing and help decide the best feed regimen. For a shorter option: some, but not all, senior feeds contain higher levels of fat and more digestible nutrients which can help gain or maintain weight.
Senior horse feeds are formulated with more digestible ingredients, added fiber, and a softer texture to support older horses who may have dental issues or reduced digestive efficiency.
