I have a confession: It wasn’t long ago that I was in rocky relationship with senior horse feeds. Yes, it had worked well for a horse I rode that was recovering from some pretty serious gastrointestinal issues, and it helped the aging horses at the lesson barn I worked at maintain a fairly decent weight. But it had also never blown me away in person by a transforming a skinny senior to a robust old horse. Basically, it was fine, but I was never eager to feed it.

I’ve made peace with senior feed, as Dorado has flourished since making the switch.
