Some tips on feeding an older horse to help maintain him through the cold winter months. First have your Vet out and have the horses teeth floated. If the teeth are bad, give alfalfa and molasses as a supplement. Second, blanket the horse at night and/or during cold days. Feed a high protein hay. Feed four times a day. Keep on a worming program. Add a little a little salt and Flax seed (1/4 c) to his grain or a senior horse supplement. The salt will keep him drinking water. The flax seed will help the food pass through the intestine easily.
Stall or keep in a sheltered area. Exercise regularly
