According to a survey carried out by the Veteran Horse Society over one third of horses in the UK are veterans, that is they are over 15 years old.
Improved veterinary knowledge and nutritional advances mean that many horses are living longer than ever before. The good news is that with a little extra care and attention, most older equines can continue to enjoy an excellent quality of life.
However, there is no doubt that, just like you and I, as time passes their immune and digestive systems become less efficient. Teeth become worn and loose due to the wear and tear of chewing and bones become less strong. Hoof quality can deteriorate and joints may be affected by cartilage necrosis and inflammation.
With all of this in mind, we've developed Veteran Care using the highest quality natural ingredients to help your faithful companion enjoy his/her senior years.
Joule has a new lease of life with Veteran Care Mix, her coat is like a mirror it shines so much with a deep lusture. Her eyes are bright and we are regularly hacking out for 3 to 5 miles a time.

The protein in Veteran Care provides essential amino acids such as lysine and methionine that are particularly beneficial for the older horse. The cereal component has been micronized to maximise digestibility and some of the starch has been replaced with disaccharides to make it more readily available to the horse.
