DIET DESCRIPTION

As our horses get older, one starts to notice small changes. They begin to appear sunken around the hips; they do not carry as much weight as they used to and they may develop a slightly more laid-back attitude to life. Often horses over sixteen (depending on type) lose condition during the winter or summer when pasture is sparse despite adequate shelter and hay. This is simply a reflection of their age and a reduction in the efficiency of their digestive system. Pain and discomfort from arthritis and earlier injuries may affect appetite and condition. Older horses need feeding with Saracen Veteran Mix - a high quality, highly digestible coarse mix designed specifically for the needs of the older horse. THE NEEDS Research in the USA shows that the older horse has an increased requirement for quality protein. The older horse usually does not require the high levels of instant energy he needed when he was younger, but still requires a high level of energy to maintain & increase condition with out over burdening the large intestine with soluble carbohydrates. The horse evolved to eat herbage and the fibre content of this is essential for the healthy functioning of the horses gut. Often old horses cannot chew very well as they have poor teeth and therefore they cannot get as much "goodness" out of the hay portion of their diet as they used to. Older horses cannot absorb vitamins & minerals as well as younger horses. Phosphorous in older horses is often reduced and is needed so the horse can utilise his calcium effectively. THE ANSWER Saracen Veteran Mix has a raised quality protein level. Saracen Veteran Mix contains a high level of vegetable oil, which provides a non-heating energy. Together with alfalfa, which provides Controlled Energy Release from High Digestible Fibre, the mix supplies plenty of energy for the older horse to maintain and increase condition, without over burdening the large intestine with soluble carbohydrate and triggering off digestive disorders. The use of a high level of alfalfa within the mix provides the older horse with a high level of Digestible Fibre in his feed. This can help supplement his overall diet with fibre if it is restricted due to poor teeth. Saracen Veteran Mix contains elevated levels of minerals, vitamins & phosphorous.
