🐴 Feed Fact Friday: Keeping Your Veteran Horse Thriving! ❄️
Welcome back to Feed Fact Friday! This is our weekly piece of advice on your horse`s diet, generously shared with us by our knowledgeable members and partners.
This week, we`re focusing on our wonderful veterans, with special thanks to @dodsonhorrell for sharing their expertise.
Older horses often need a little extra help to hold their weight and shine through the colder months. ❄️🐴
When choosing a feed for your veteran, look for:
🌾 High fibre and oil for condition
💪 Quality protein with lysine to support muscle
🌿 MSM, vitamin E and antioxidants for joint and immune health
🦷 Soft, soakable options for horses with dental issues
With the right nutrition, your veteran can stay happy and healthy all winter!
#D&H #HappyHealthyHorses #ExcellenceInNutrition
Following the event, we`ve received overwhelming positive feedback from delegates who highlighted the high quality of the presentations and the relevance of the scientific research shared
