      Description

      Start with the amounts of Equine Senior® Active horse feed given for the weight and lifestyle of the horse. After observing the horse for a period of time, the amount fed may be gradually increased or decreased to obtain the desired body condition and weight.

      For feeding directions outside the ranges addressed in these feeding charts, please contact your local Purina retailer or Purina Customer Service at 800-227-8941.  
       

      | Weight of Horse in Pounds
      Lifestyle 800 1,000 1,200
      Minimum Hay or Equivalent Pasture* 9.50 12.00 14.50
      | Equine Senior® Active Horse Feed**
      Maintenance — Average Activity 2.75 3.50 4.25
      Light Work 4.25 5.50 6.50
      Moderate Work 6.00 7.25 8.75
      Heavy Work 7.50 9.25 11.00
      Early Gestation (first 250 days) 3.00 3.75 4.50
      Late Gestation (last 90 days) 4.50 5.50 6.50
      Breeding Stallion 5.50 6.50 7.75

       * This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of Equine Senior® Active horse feed by 1.0 lb for every additional 2.0 lbs of hay fed.
       ** Do not feed less than 0.3 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day. If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace Equine Senior® Active horse feed with Purina® Strategy® Healthy Edge® horse feed or a Purina® Ration Balancing Feed.

      A 4 lb meal of Equine Senior® Active Horse Feed supplies a full serving of Outlast® Supplement.

      Caution

      Follow label directions: feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.3 ppm in the total diet is prohibited.
      Wash hands after feeding/handling animals. 

      Not for human consumption. Wash feed/water containers regularly.

      Important

      1. Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, forage quality, climate and activity level. Feed at regular times, at least twice daily. Do not feed more than 0.5 lbs/100 lbs of body weight per meal. Do not feed free-choice. Prevent rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff.

      2. Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse which is hot, excited or showing pain, has fever or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise.

      3. Always feed a minimum of 1.0 to 1.2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight of good quality, clean hay or the equivalent in pasture.

      4. Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1.0 lb per day for each horse.

      5. Provide fresh, clean water at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Consult with your veterinarian regularly and maintain a routine dental, parasite control and health care program for your horse.

      For horses sensitive to dietary carbohydrates, please consult with a veterinarian or nutritionist for a recommended diet

Love this product

I have had my rescue thoroughbred mare on this feed for over a year now. She is still excited for it. She had also had the best digestive system compared to other horses in my area. Absolutely love this feed. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Overall I'm saving money!!! and time!

I've quit using all my suppliments and put my 25 year old horse on just this product. She hasn't looked this wonderful in years. In 60 days, her coat has improved and she is back to her fiesty self. I'll be using this for any of my horses that need something extra.
