As horses reach their geriatric years, it becomes important to address the changes that occur by adjusting feeding programs to fit their nutritional needs. Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed is formulated to deliver complete balanced nutrition, including forage, to the senior horse with problems chewing and digesting feed and forages due to age.

Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed provides the specific balance of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and high-quality fiber (including beet pulp) your senior horse requires to maintain proper body condition.

The unique Easy Soak™ Pellet Technology makes it easy to chew, regardless of your horse's chewing ability, and is more digestible than whole grains, hay or pasture. Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed provides the best nutrition for senior horse. Plus, your horse will love the taste.
