Senior Horses: Age is Only a Number |
For many horse owners, the answer to the age-old question (or should we say "old age" question) about when to start a senior feeding program, isn't always the same. Some horse owners say a good approximation is 15 or 16. Others might feel the magic number is 20, while some may never switch to a senior feed. Although the calendar might say it's time to start treating your equine partner as an elder statesman (or woman), deciding what age a horse becomes a senior varies. If you know what to look for, your horse will tell you when it's time. Here are some telltale signs it's time to consider switching to a senior feed.
