Older horses and ponies are less efficient a digesting fibre, protein and phosphorus. These increased needs have been taken into account when formulating Badminton Veteran Mix, which also includes a natural anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune enhancer. If your horse's teeth are not good, soak Badminton High Fibre Complete Nuggets in water to form a mash. This will provide him with fibre, vitamins and minerals he needs.
My 24yr old pony
started to lose weight last year and now he really looks old. He has just
recovered from his first every attack of laminitis, so I have to be careful
what I feed. Do you have anything in your range which might help him?
Loss of weight followed by laminitis in an old, but previously healthy
pony, suggests that he may benefit from a 20-day course of Remount,
a liver tonic. The liver is under constant onslaught from toxins. It has
a remarkable capacity for self-regeneration but under certain circumstances,
especially in older horses, the regeneration fails to keep pace with degeneration.
Impaired liver function is often only a temporary condition, but due you're
your pony's age, we would suggest you give him a 20-day course 3-4 times
a year.
