Choosing the Correct Feed for the Veteran Horse In Work

20th January 2025

As our horses get older, we want to make sure they are getting the right support to stay healthy and supple through their older years and a key part of this is making sure they have the correct nutrition. The Dodson & Horrell Sixteen Plus Range is specially formulated to help offer the right support to your older horse. 

Both Sixteen Plus Mix and Sixteen Plus Cubes are palatable conditioning feeds with additional protein and key amino acids to support condition and topline in veteran horses. This makes them particularly suitable for older horses that are still in work or that need help to maintain their condition. 

The Sixteen Plus feeds also offer a full range of support supplements, specifically targeted for veteran horses, including live yeast to support a healthy digestive system, joint support to help keep horses feeling supple and added antioxidants to support immunity. 

When deciding whether to go with the mix or the cubes it often comes down to personal preference and what your horse prefers. However, for horses that suffer from poor dentition the Sixteen Plus Cubes can be easily soaked down to create a tasty mash. 

If you need help with feeding your veteran horse, our team of nutritionists are on hand to help. Contact our friendly helpline team on +44 1270 782 223 or get in touch via our Live Chat!
