(Why do we feed Equine Senior?)
Equine Senior is a "complete" feed.
This means it has everything your horse needs
even without hay or supplements. It is also extremely digestible, with excellent
quality controls for consistency.
To feed a large number of horses of different
breeds, body conditions and work levels, a complete feed is ideal as it is safe
to feed in large quantity to horses that need more calories, and in smaller
quantities for our more feed "efficient" ponies.
It is also especially formulated for horses
with chewing problems for ease of digestibility, and that is good for other horses as
well.
It's very difficult to cause carbohydrate
overload with a complete feed, which makes Equine Senior safer overall to feed
horses of all body types.
The only reason not to feed Equine Senior is
cost. It's expensive!
But we never "skimp" on our horse
care to save a few dollars. We only feed the highest quality hay and feed.
Don't forget that the grain or
"concentrate" your horses eat is just a very small portion of their
total diet. The hay they eat is a much larger portion of their diet.
