FAQ

Is it suitable for horses with dental problems?

Yes — the coarse mix format is generally easier to eat than harder cube feeds, and can be soaked to create a softer mash for horses with significant dental issues. Always consult your vet if your horse is struggling to eat.

Is it suitable for horses with PPID (Cushing’s)?

Always consult your vet for specific dietary management of PPID. Older horses with PPID may have specific dietary requirements regarding sugar and starch content.

Why does it contain live yeast?

As horses age, digestive efficiency can decline. Live yeast supports a healthy gut microbiome and improves fibre digestibility, helping older horses extract maximum nutrition from their feed and forage.

How does it differ from Heygates Horse & Pony Conditioning Mix?

Twilight Years Mix is specifically formulated for the nutritional needs of senior horses, with a profile tailored to older animals. The Conditioning Mix is a general conditioning feed suitable for horses of all ages needing to gain or maintain condition.
