The BHW Book Worm Posts: 1768	Purinas ACTIVE senior all the way...I tried doing a natural unprocessed diet for my horse and loved the results when she would eat it. It was a struggle I tried it for 2 months and she won't touch any kind of Timothy or alfalfa I finally got her eating a little of it but on the road she absolutely wasn't going to even eat. So I switch back to active senior and we are good to go.

Elite Veteran Posts: 682 Location: Northwest	I guess I am the odd one out, I won't touch Purina Senior because it made the horse eating it psycho. This was 4 years ago though. Put that horse on Nutrena Senior and horse went back to acting normal. Honestly though, I've gotten away from all feeds like that and just do a cup of whole oats and alfalfa pellets each day to put their supplements in along with alfalfa/grass hay.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 582 Location: Wherever They Send Me	I feed my 23 year old beet pulp, Purina Senior and alfalfa/mix pellets (teeth are ok)...I would love to try the Active. When he was at Kansas State University for colic surgery (suffocating lypoma) they recommended Purina Senior for him.

It's wonderful

Expert Posts: 2013 Location: Piedmont, OK	Regardless of what senior feed you choose beet pulp soaked in water IMO is a necessity. They love it and they slurp it up! And it makes the senior feed soft for them.

They love it and they slurp it up! And it makes the senior feed soft for them. We do soaked beet pulp with the Sr Active. This time of year I feel good knowing they're getting water (and warmth since I use really warm water during the winter) in ways other than just the trough. And my 37 year old needs the beet to generate heat since he can't eat hay anymore.
