Common feeding mistakes to avoid with senior horses

Older horses require adjustments to their feeding program or special management as their needs change over time. It can be tricky to determine the right combination of feed and care for them, particularly if they have digestion challenges, poor teeth or lameness issues.

Senior with poor teeth?

Chewing is the first step of digestion — referred to as mastication. As horses age their teeth change and chewing can become difficult. It’s important to monitor the health of their mouth.

Farrier resources

Triple Crown knows that a healthy foot doesn’t happen on its own. Your care as a farrier ensures that horses can stay active, move without lameness or pain, and perform their best in competitions.

Feeding metabolic horses prone to laminitis

If your horse is living with a metabolic disease, they have a much greater risk of developing laminitis — an irreversible condition that can cause extreme hoof discomfort and long-term damage.
