Q&A Feeding
Which balancer?
Q I want to feed my 22-year-old mare a balancer. What ingredients should a balancer suitable for a veteran contain?
Scarlet Alden, Essex
JESS SAYS Ensuring your senior mare is getting the best nutritional package possible is paramount, to ensure her senior years are as healthy and stress free as possible.
The digestive function of senior horses can become compromised with age, and because of this an elevated level of vitamins and minerals is often beneficial to ensure they are receiving all the essentials they need.
