We just found out our Belgian draft horse is "mid 20's to 30 years old" My husband uses him to log with, Charlie, the horse, LOVES to work, he shows no signs of slowing down, the only problem we are having is feeding him.
He has been on hay, steamed flaked corn, and 14% spirit sweet feed, well he dribbles his grain and balls his hay, the vet said he has no back teeth they are downto his gumline now, the couple he has left do have hooks on them but not enough to have him floated. the vet suggested a senior grain, beet pulp and alpha cubes.
Is anyone using a feed program like that or what do you use for an older horse?
Charlie is maybe 200# under weight due to him not being able to get proper nutrience from his feeding.
we would like to hear what other people have to say.
Thanks
