Benchmark Golden Oldies is the best in nutritional aged care for much loved horses and ponies

When formulating a premium feed for older horses it is important to address the challenges of ageing by maximising feed digestibility and nutritional robustness - and wherever possible to provide support for entire body systems.

Important inclusions are the correct amino acid profile and the ratio of Essential Amino Acids (EAASs) to Non-Essential Amino Acids (NEAAs). Getting this right can be lifechanging for a cherished oldie.

Other critical inclusions such as Omega 3 DHA, antioxidants, biotin, superfibres, and pre and pro biotics all combine to help combat the challenges of old age.

When changing from a poorer quality feed to Golden Oldies, the benefits can be seen in digestive health, general vigour, mobility and coat condition.

If poor quality or limited protein has been fed previously you will see a marked change in your horse’s top line over time.

Remember if your horse’s teeth are showing their age you can soak your Golden Oldies down to a mash with cold water.

Adding Benchmark Super Fibre Mash to Golden Oldies will provide an energy rich fibre source that is easy to digest and a great conditioner, particularly during colder months or when pastures are poor.

Soy and lupin hulls, lupin meal, canola meal, extruded barley, mill run, limestone, di-calciumphosphate, magnesium oxide, salt, cold pressed canola oil, Benchmark’s vitamin, mineral and amino acid premix, Agrimos Prebiotic & Yea Sacc Probiotic.

Feed BENCHMARK HORSE FEEDS GOLDEN OLDIES as part of a balanced diet alongside quality roughage such as hay or pasture. Adjust feeding rates based on your horse's age, work level, body condition and individual metabolism. Introduce this feed gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with the previous feed to allow the digestive system to adapt. Ensure fresh water is available at all times. Tips: Golden Oldies is specifically formulated for senior horses, providing easily digestible nutrients and joint support. Split daily feed into 2-3 smaller meals to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Monitor your horse's body condition regularly and adjust feed quantity accordingly to maintain optimal health.
