Senior Horse Feeds?

Sorry if this has been gone over time and time again, I don't have the opportunity to get on here and keep up like I used to.
I am currently feeding Nutrena Safechoice Original but my gelding is getting older and he's to the point where he just needs something more. He's always been a hard keeper but has really well on Safechoice until this year. No health issues, he's just getting older.
I know there has been quite the controversy lately on horse feeds, so I'm curious to see what everyone else is feeding or suggests. I don't have a lot of feed store options in the area
(Tractor Supply is the closest
) but want to get the best feed I can get for my old man.

Mine is 17, which I don't really consider senior but he's on Renew Gold and I'm loving it. High fat, low starch, easily consumed/digested.

I have a 36 year old on Purina Sr and 20 year old on Purina Sr Active. Love love them both

I have my 24 year old mare on Safechoice Senior. It has more fat than most of the other senior feeds, and she loves it. She does really well on it.

Here is mine on RG. Pulled him from the cold winter and brought him to AZ in December. He was poor, pretty ribby and lacked muscle tone. He had been turned out for 3 years. The after pictures were taken middle April. Now of course he's shed out and its spring but he's been worked rather easily and put on a good 100 lbs I'd say.
