TIP TUESDAY - Helping your Senior Horse
Once our horses get to a certain age, their bodies start to change and their health can decline. So here are some things that you can do to keep them healthy:
1️⃣ Keep them moving - there's an old saying "use it or lose it!" While older horses may not be competitive or ridden anymore, regular exercise within their abilities can be good for their joints, mobility and mind. Movement can also help to ease some aches and pains.
2️⃣ Protect their immunity where you can - as a horse ages their immune function can decrease, making them more susceptible to infections or diseases. Keep them up to date with vaccinations, and if introducing new horses to a property or taking your older horse off site, try to use good biosecurity measures.
3️⃣ Work out their health base line - keep a record of their normal heart rate, respiration and temperature so you have something to compare it too if you are worried. Know the warning signs of some of the common older horse conditions like Cushings or EMS.
4️⃣ Track their condition - calculate their weight and take regular photos of them from the side, back and front to help you pick up on any changes. While it's important to watch out for weight loss, don't let them get overweight! Extra weight on older joints can contribute to mobility issues.
5️⃣ Dental checks - it's important in older horses to have their teeth checked annually, or more regularly if they have bad teeth. Older horses are susceptible to a variety of dental issues which can prevent them from eating. You can find out more about Dental issues in our recent dental health webinar with Dr Martin Dolinschek: fb.watch/9KI9-oiRJi/
6️⃣ NUTRITION!!! Tune in to our Feeding Senior Horses webinar this Thursday night (7.30pm), to hear nutritionist Jill Davies discuss nutrition for older horses: fb.me/e/25EwWnJEg

"We love that the T&R Grower Weaner Pellets have been made with the nutritional requirements of growing and breeding horses in mind.
All of our broodmares, stallions and young stock are on this feed. The reliable, high-protein formula has added vitamins and minerals to support the correct muscle and bone formation, as well as good milk production in mares. We also like that it is made fresh using local raw materials, thereby supporting WA farmers.”
"At Valley Equine Vet Centre we choose T&R feeds for their reliably excellent quality and freshness that comes with a locally made product. The convenience of already added salt, vitamins and minerals in the Horse weaner and grower pellet saves us time in our busy hospital.
Our recip mares are thriving and all looking fantastic!
Thank you Thompson and Redwood.

“I have used T&R equine products for my horses and foals for many years. Over this time, I have used the T&R Horse Pellets and Horse Grower Weaner depending on their needs. My Arab endurance horse (who also does the Anzac march here in town every year) holds a great top line and dapples on the horse pellets. All my horses have always held their conditioning beautifully and a nice shine to their coats on these products.”
