FAQs
How much feed should I give my horse?
The amount of feed depends on your horse's weight, body condition, and activity level. Consult the feeding guide on the bag and consider seeking advice from your vet or an equine nutritionist for a tailored feeding plan.
Can I feed this to younger horses?
Allen & Page Veteran Light is specifically formulated for senior horses. Its low-calorie content might not meet the nutritional needs of younger, growing horses. It is best to stick to the recommendations for the product.
How long can I store the soaked feed?
Soaked feed should be fed immediately after preparation. Do not store soaked feed for later use as it can spoil and become unsafe for your horse.
Is this feed suitable for horses with laminitis?
Yes, Allen & Page Veteran Light is low in starch and sugar, making it suitable for horses prone to laminitis. However, always consult with your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations.
What if my horse has allergies?
This feed is free from barley, molasses, alfalfa, and soya, making it suitable for horses with common allergies. Always observe your horse for any adverse reactions after introducing any new feed.
What is the best way to introduce this feed to my horse?
Introduce the feed gradually, over a period of 7-10 days, mixing it with your horse's current feed. Start with a small amount and slowly increase the proportion of Allen & Page Veteran Light.
Where can I buy this feed?
This feed is available at most equestrian retailers. Please search online for your nearest retailer.
Troubleshooting
Horse is not eating the feed.
Ensure the feed is soaked correctly and not too dry or wet. Try mixing it with a small amount of the horse's favorite feed or supplement to encourage consumption. Gradually introduce the feed.
Horse has loose stools.
This could be due to a sudden change in diet. Gradually introduce the feed over several days. Ensure the horse has adequate access to fresh water. If the problem persists, consult with a veterinarian.
Feed appears stale or moldy.
Check the storage conditions. Ensure the feed is stored in a cool, dry place and that the bag is properly sealed. If the feed is moldy, do not use it; dispose of it and replace it with a fresh bag.
