CUSTOM SENIOR HORSE NUTRITION PRODUCTS
Why do older horses need different nutrition?
As horses age, their needs change. They may lose muscle, struggle to chew hay, or have trouble keeping weight on. Older horses may look fine one month and drop condition the next. That’s where senior-specific nutrition helps, it’s easier to digest, packed with support, and gentler on the gut.
What goes into a senior horse supplement?
A strong formula focuses on maintaining body condition, joint health, and digestive balance. Common ingredients include:
- High-quality, easy-to-digest protein
- Prebiotics and probiotics for gut health
- Omega-3s and antioxidants for joints
- Added vitamins and trace minerals for immune support
Powders and pelleted top-dress options tend to work best for picky eaters or horses with dental issues.
How can custom manufacturing help your farm brand?

- Ingredient sourcing and blend design
