Spillers Senior Complete Care Mix is a specialized nutritional feed formulated for veteran horses and ponies, providing a comprehensive solution to maintain their long-term health and vitality. Designed for owners who want to simplify their senior horse's diet, this feed combines essential digestive, joint, and immune support into a single, balanced serving. While it offers excellent all-in-one nutritional coverage, owners should be aware that it is formulated specifically for the metabolic and physical needs of aging equines and may not be suitable for young, high-performance horses with different caloric requirements.

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.
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.
The mix is designed as a complete nutritional solution. Unless your veterinarian has prescribed a specific treatment, additional supplements are generally not necessary.
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.
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.
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.
This usually indicates moisture exposure. Ensure the storage area is climate-controlled and keep the bag tightly sealed when not in use.
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.
