I feed ADM SeniorGLO, Forco and THE Muscle Mass with joint & arthritis and senior blends added. This is for a really really old pony that my 2yr old son rides the heck out of. My dad is using the Purina Senior to his old mare that is 33 now and has a hard time keeping weight. He should have started her on it long before he did. She has few teeth, but is doing well.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 302 Location: W. Pa.	Its never too early to feed senior feed. If you are even thinking about it, then it is probably time to start. I have horses of all ages on it. From a six year old to a thirty year old.

Elite Veteran Posts: 747	We feed Allegra Senior to all of our horses, mixed with some whole oats. My hard keeper (13 year old, very high maintenance) gets 2 scoops whole oats and 1 scoop senior night and morning. The others just get one scoop each in the evenings.
