FEED FOCUS - Barastoc Senior
As our horses get older, their nutritional needs change. Maintaining weight, supporting digestion, and ensuring they get all the essential vitamins and minerals becomes more important than ever. Barastoc Senior is specially designed to make feeding aging horses easier, providing balanced, digestible nutrition to keep them feeling their best.
Why Choose Barastoc Senior? As horses get older, their ability to absorb nutrients declines. That’s why Barastoc Senior is formulated with cooked cereal grains and Barastoc Superfibres™, making it easier for senior horses to digest and utilize energy without unnecessary strain on their system.
Older horses may also need extra support to stay strong and healthy, especially through seasonal changes. Barastoc Senior includes natural vitamin E, an important antioxidant that helps support immune function, hoof strength, and muscle health.
Senior horses can struggle to get all the nutrients they need, particularly if their ability to graze or eat roughage is compromised. Barastoc Senior provides balanced nutrition in every bite and is fortified with essential vitamins and trace minerals, ensuring they get a well-rounded diet without the guesswork.
Dental issues are common in older horses, making it harder for them to chew long-stem hay or harder feeds. Barastoc Senior’s pellet form is highly palatable and can be softened with water, creating an easy-to-eat mash that reduces the risk of choke, encourages appetite and it gentle on teeth and the digestive system.
How to Feed Barastoc Senior Barastoc Senior should be introduced gradually over 10–14 days, ensuring a smooth transition for your horse’s digestive system. While it provides complete and balanced nutrition, it’s best fed alongside good-quality pasture or hay to support fibre intake. If you’re unsure about the best feeding plan, have a chat to one of Barastoc nutritionist or completes a free diet analysis to help you create a diet that’s right for your horse.
The Right Nutrition for Their Golden Years Feeding an older horse doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right balance of digestibility, energy, and essential nutrients, Barastoc Senior makes it easier to provide the care they need. Whether your horse is maintaining weight or needs extra support, this feed is designed to help them thrive in their later years. Thinking about making the switch?
