FAQs

At what age should I start feeding Senior Complete Care Mix?

Generally, horses are considered seniors in their late teens to early twenties, but you can transition to this feed whenever you notice signs of weight loss, reduced mobility, or a decline in coat condition.

Can I feed this to my younger horse?

This feed is specifically formulated for the unique metabolism of senior horses. It is not recommended for younger animals with different energy and developmental nutritional needs.

Do I need to add extra supplements?

The mix is designed as a complete nutritional solution. Unless your veterinarian has prescribed a specific treatment, additional supplements are generally not necessary.

How much should I feed daily?

Feeding amounts depend on your horse's weight, workload, and body condition. Please refer to the feeding guide on the bag and adjust based on your horse's individual requirements.

Is this suitable for horses with dental issues?

The mix can be easily dampened with water to create a mash, making it much easier for horses with worn or missing teeth to chew and swallow.

Troubleshooting

Horse is reluctant to eat the new feed

Introduce the feed more gradually, perhaps mixing it with a small amount of a previously liked feed or adding a splash of water to create a mash.

Feed appears clumpy or damp in the bag

This usually indicates moisture exposure. Ensure the storage area is climate-controlled and keep the bag tightly sealed when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies feeding routines by combining multiple supplements into one mix
  • Tailored specifically for the physiological requirements of senior horses
  • Includes active support for joint mobility and digestive health
  • Balanced nutrition helps maintain weight and body condition in aging equines

Cons

  • Not suitable for young horses or those with high-performance energy demands
  • Requires proper storage to maintain nutritional integrity over time
  • May be cost-prohibitive for large stables compared to basic forage-only diets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your horse gains the full benefit of Spillers Senior Complete Care Mix, it is essential to manage the transition period carefully. When switching feeds, introduce the new mix gradually over a period of 7 to 14 days to allow the hindgut microflora to adjust.

Always ensure the horse has access to fresh, clean drinking water at all times, as proper hydration is critical for the digestion of this concentrated feed. Store the product in a cool, dry place, keeping it in a sealed container to prevent contamination from pests or moisture, which can degrade the vitamin potency of the mix.
