VETERAN MIX is a high quality, highly digestible mix designed specifically for the needs of the older horse or pony. It is based on "Super-Fibre" sources which provide a similar level of calories to that of cereals but reduce the reliance on cereals in the diet helping to keep starch levels low. The combination of oil and digestible fibre provides slow-release energy helping to avoid the fizz that can be associated with cereal-based diets.
VETERAN MIX also includes essential antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which mop up free radicals helping the horse to maintain normal muscle function and decrease recovery time after exercise. Antioxidants also benefit the older horse through maintenance of normal metabolic systems and immune function, thus offering the veteran horse the best protection to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. The blend of four different herbs aids in palatability making this feed suitable for even the fussiest of eaters.
VETERAN MIX contains the high-quality protein sources required by the older horse and is fully fortified with a full spectrum of vitamins and chelated minerals. These minerals can help with complementing natural stress resistance and the immune system, plus improving coat bloom and skin and hoof quality. A live yeast culture is included to support digestive function and to aid in feed and forage utilisation.

Feeding directions:
The feeding rates are offered as a guideline, if you would like to discuss your horse's individual requirements please contact a member of our nutritional team on 91 612 65 02
| Bodyweight (kg) | Daily ration (kg) |
| 200 - 400 kg | 1.0 - 2.0 kg |
| 400 - 600 kg | 2.0 - 3.5 kg |
| > 600 kg | 3.5 up to 5.0 kg |
N.B These feed levels give the minimum and maximum feeding rates for each range of bodyweights (BW), ie a pony of any BW between 200-400kg could be fed between 1-2kg per day depending on their requirements.
These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. Always try to feed a minimum of 1.5% of bodyweight as good quality forage per day
