What's Inside Equine Senior:

Prebiotic:

Prebiotics incorporated in Hygain Equine Senior have a defined mode of action, promoting a healthy gut and supporting natural defences essential for optimum health and performance.

Natural Vitamin E:

This unique and highly stable form of Natural Vitamin E known as RRR-a-tocopherol is up to 5 times more bio available and potent than regular synthetic sources of Vitamin E.
Research has shown that this form of Natural Vitamin E provides higher retention levels in plasma further aiding antioxidant, immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular and reproductive functions.

Hygain RBO:

RBO Equine Performance Oil is a blend of rice bran oil, omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids and natural anti-oxidants known to improve the health and structural integrity of cell membranes. RBO oil plays an important role in maximising energy efficiency due to its energy dense nature and is digested efficiently in the small intestine reducing the ‘sugar high’ associated with high grain diets. RBO promotes growth and development of the muscular system, top line and a healthy skin and coat.

Vitamin C:

for immune function.

Bio-Available Chromium:

The addition of chromium to performance horse diets has been shown to reduce the build up of lactic acid at the end of strenuous exercise or the closing stages of a race and to increase the horse’s ability to store glucose.

Bio-Available Selenium;

Selenium acts as an antioxidant to prevent fatty acid oxidation which can cause tissue damage. Research has shown that an organic form of selenium, is more readily absorbed and retained than selenium in inorganic forms.

Equine Senior Horse Feeding Tips:

Hygain Equine Senior horse feed has been formulated for the mature horse/pony (6 yo +) and those in their senior years.

Hygain Equine Senior horse feed contains carefully blended ingredients that cater for the increased nutritional demands of the older horse when in work, at rest or enjoying retirement. Research has shown older horses require higher levels of nutrients to maintain condition and general well-being as efficiency of the digestive tract decreases with age.

Horses on average will 1.5% of their body weight as quality roughage per day. Care should be taken to match feed intake to age, breed, appetite, exercise, desired body condition, pasture/hay quality and availability and climate.

Reduce the intake of Hygain Equine Senior horse feed if horses gain weight and/or exercise regime is interrupted, on rest days and when pasture quality and availability is in excess of dietary requirements. If your horse/pony endures heavy sweat loss additional supplementation with an electrolyte such as Hygain Regain is recommended.

Hygain Equine Senior is a balanced feed and as such the addition of other grains and supplements only serves to dilute the nutritional integrity of the feed.

Introduce Hygain Equine Senior to your horse’s diet gradually over a 7-14 day period.
Feed by weight and not by volume.

Feed a minimum of 1.5% of your horse’s body weight daily as roughage.
Horses have a small stomach, so feed little and often.
Ensure horses have access to clean water.

Common Questions

Is Hygain Equine Senior suitable for my horse?

Hygain Equine Senior is formulated for mature horses and ponies aged 6 years and over, including those in their senior years. It's designed for older horses whether they're in work, at rest, or retired. Since digestive efficiency decreases with age, this feed provides higher levels of nutrients to help maintain condition and general well-being. If you're unsure whether it's right for your horse, contact Hygain for dietary recommendations.

What's special about the Vitamin E in this feed?

Hygain Equine Senior contains natural Vitamin E in the form of RRR-a-tocopherol, which is up to 5 times more bio-available and potent than regular synthetic sources. Research shows this form provides higher retention levels in the bloodstream and supports antioxidant, immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular and reproductive functions.

How should I introduce this feed to my horse?

Introduce Hygain Equine Senior gradually over a 7–14 day period to allow your horse's digestive system to adjust. Always feed by weight rather than volume, and remember that horses have small stomachs, so feed little and often. Ensure your horse has access to clean water at all times.

Can I add other grains or supplements to this feed?

No. Hygain Equine Senior is a balanced feed, and adding other grains and supplements only serves to dilute the nutritional integrity of the feed. It's formulated to provide everything your mature horse needs, so additional supplements aren't necessary.

What should I know about feeding amounts and roughage?

Horses should be fed a minimum of 1.5% of their body weight daily as quality roughage. Care should be taken to match overall feed intake to your horse's age, breed, appetite, exercise level, desired body condition, pasture and hay quality, and climate. Reduce Hygain Equine Senior if your horse gains weight, on rest days, or when pasture quality is high. If your horse experiences heavy sweat loss, consider additional supplementation with an electrolyte like Hygain Regain.
