FAQ

How do I prepare Veteran Mash?

Simply soak with warm water and feed immediately. The mash soaks quickly and can be served warm, which is particularly appealing to older horses in cold weather. Follow the label instructions for the recommended water ratio. It can also be mixed dry for horses that prefer a less wet consistency, though soaking is recommended for horses with dental problems.

Can I use it to give my horse medication or supplements?

Yes — the highly palatable, soft mash format makes Veteran Mash an excellent base for administering medications or supplements that horses might otherwise refuse. The Palatability Plus technology helps mask the taste of less palatable additions.

How does it work alongside Veteran Balancer?

Veteran Mash and Veteran Balancer are designed as a complementary two-part feeding system. The mash provides calories, fibre and palatability, while the balancer provides the comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile — together they form a complete, balanced diet for older horses.

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

Veteran Mash is low in sugar and starch, making it a potentially suitable option for horses with PPID. Always consult your vet for specific dietary management of PPID, as total sugar and starch intake from all feed sources should be carefully managed.

Is it oat-free?

Yes — Veteran Mash is oat-free, making it suitable for horses that cannot tolerate oats or those on a low-starch diet. Its easily digestible fibres and oils provide long-lasting, controlled energy release without the starch loading associated with cereal-based feeds.
