Caring for your senior horse

Join Dr. Christine Skelly for a free webinar to learn more about what to expect in an aging horse and how to keep your senior equine partner healthy and happy.

The old adage "you're only as old as you feel," is especially applicable to horses. Many senior horses have productive careers well into their late twenties. Research suggests that the secret to maintaining a serviceable older horse is to make proactive management changes in their health care, diet and exercise.

Signs of aging include dental problems, weight or muscle loss, gray hairs around the face, flank and tail head, and stiffening of the joints. The average onset of aging signs in horses is twenty years. Like humans, the degree of physical aging varies from horse to horse. Learn more:
