Equerry Veteran Mix 20kg

An open-texture dry mix specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of veteran and senior horses that need to gain weight and improve condition as they age. Equerry Veteran Mix boosts antioxidant content, introduces highly digestible cereals for improved nutrient absorption, and provides bioavailable fats for slow energy release, condition, and overall health — alongside high-quality protein to support muscle tone and topline.

Key Benefits

• High protein — supports muscle tone and topline in older horses whose muscle mass naturally declines with age
• Boosted antioxidant content — supports immune function and helps manage oxidative stress in senior horses
• Digestible cereals — improve digestive efficiency in veteran horses whose digestive systems become less effective with age
• Bioavailable fats — provide slow energy release, support condition, and coat quality
• Linseed and oil — rich in omega-3 fatty acids for non-heating condition and coat shine
• Yeast — maintains a healthy digestive environment and hindgut microbiome
• Added vitamins and minerals including magnesium — comprehensive micronutrient support tailored for senior horses
• Open-texture dry mix — palatable and varied; suitable for horses with effective chewing ability

FAQ

How does Veteran Mix differ from Equerry Veteran Mash?

Both products are formulated for veteran and senior horses with similar nutritional goals. Veteran Mix is a dry open-texture mix suitable for horses with effective chewing ability, while Veteran Mash is a quick-soaking mash ideal for horses with dental problems or reduced chewing ability. Choose based on your horse’s dentition and feeding preferences.

Why do veteran horses need boosted antioxidants?

As horses age, they become more susceptible to oxidative stress, which can contribute to muscle damage, immune decline, and slower recovery. Boosted antioxidant content — including vitamin E — helps counteract this, supporting immune function and muscle health in older horses.

Why is protein important for senior horses?

Older horses naturally lose muscle mass as part of the ageing process. High-quality dietary protein provides the amino acids needed to maintain and support muscle tone and topline, helping veteran horses maintain their condition and mobility.

Is it suitable for a horse that needs to gain weight?

Yes — Equerry Veteran Mix is specifically designed for senior horses that need to gain weight and improve condition. The combination of digestible cereals, bioavailable fats, linseed, and quality protein supports weight gain and conditioning safely.

Can I feed it to a horse with laminitis?

Veteran Mix contains digestible cereals and is designed as a conditioning feed. It may not be appropriate for laminitis-prone horses requiring strict sugar and starch control. Always check the full nutritional analysis on the label and consult your vet before feeding to laminitis-prone horses.
