Feeding the Picky Senior Horse

Aug 14, 2025
1 min read

Q: I have a 22-year-old Appaloosa gelding that I trail ride on the weekends, and we compete in five or six local shows during the summer. In the past year he’s become more of a hard keeper and, to top it off, he’s picky about his grain and hay. His teeth have been floated and he has no known dental issues. Given his age, would a senior feed or performance horse feed be more appropriate for him?
