Keep your veteran in peak condition
| Keep your veteran in peak condition with SPILLERS® Senior Advanced knowledge, together with improved management practice, mean that horses and ponies are now living longer and many can remain active well into their twenties and even thirties. Providing the right feed for the older horse's needs can make a big difference to his health, welfare and performance. |
SPILLERS® Senior Maintenance Mix is the first senior feed on the market to meet the specific needs of the older good doer. This mix is low in energy, with high digestible fibre, quality protein and an excellent vitamin and mineral profile to support all-round health. SPILLERS® Senior Conditioning Mix is a highly effective conditioning feed to help older horses maintain weight and topline. With a base of digestible fibre, Senior Conditioning Mix includes easily digested steam flaked cereals and soya oil for extra conditioning power; it also has small size particles for easy chewing.
Emma Peel owns 17-year-old ex-flat racer turned veteran show horse Dear John. The pair has had phenomenal success in veteran horse classes this year, including winning the veteran in-hand and ridden classes at the SPILLERS® Trailblazers Championships, the racehorse championship at the Royal London Show and the veteran championship and supreme of show at the Chiltern & Thames Rider summer championships. Emma attributes John's condition and performance to SPILLERS®. She explains: "John is a typically sharp Thoroughbred and a tricky horse to feed. Having tried masses of different feeds over the years we have settled on the perfect combination of SPILLERS® Senior Conditioning Mix and SPILLERS® Conditioning Fibre. This gives him the topline he needs and enough energy to maintain his stamina in the show ring but without any extra fizz. "
