Location: Randolph, Utah | My 27 year old get sr feed from IFA (I can't remember the name) some corn oats and barley mix, beet pulp and a hoof supplement.
He gets alfalfa and grass hay, and has a mineral lick tub. He doesn't eat much of the lick tub though.
He looks and feels great in this, he was still winning the 3D in Utah last fall. |

Location: SD | Free choice grass hay, 3 lbs of Purina Equine Senior, 1 lb of beet pulp, 1 lb of alfalfa pellets all soaked. I'd prefer to feed ADM PrimeGlo or SeniorGlo, but it's a 2 hour drive to get it.
ETA: He also gets CocoSoya oil.

 Nothing Comes Easy

Location: Texas | My two oldies get alfalfa pellets, MSM, coastal hay, and a half a scoop of high performance feed from our local feed mill that is 13/8. They are fat, fluffy and acting like 2 year olds. Last week my 27+ year old mare tried to launch me, in fact she unseated me.. I think she feels pretty good! The feed might be a tad bit too hot for them but they don't seem to mind :)
My 18 year old broodmare gets a mash made of 10 pounds of alfalfa pellets, beet pulp and Nutrena senior. All of this is soaked in hot water and dumped into a huge pan with bricks. She gets a big bucket of water poured on top and is good to go! It takes her probably 2-3 hours to finish it all. If I add another bucket of water it keeps her busy for almost 5 hours. |

Location: stray dump capital of the world | I have 2 in their 30s. They get fed Safechoice senior, soaked beet pulp, soaked alfalfa, rice bran, supplements for arthritis and coastal hay. I love watching them slurp up their feed and twist this way and that to lick every spot in their buckets. |
