Age-related nutritional advice adds value if you want to be sure your horse is offered a balanced diet that provides all the necessary nutrients at all stages of life.

Young horses in growth especially need the right ratio of building blocks that support in physical development and strengthen the immune system.

For senior horses, it is especially important to ensure that they take in enough nutrients to maintain their weight and condition. In doing so, we must take into account any age-related condition. For example, muscle loss in senior horses is very often confused with weight loss. A BCS can then be very useful as a guide.
