Best Feed For Older Horse?

[Equidarby]

I know it's been asked a million times.

I have a mare who's 25 this year, she has been doing well the last couple years on just high fibre cubes and veteran chaff.
However she has started to drop some weight and is going off her hay (they have been in at the moment due to the weather)
We have the dentist coming and she is always kept up to date with her teeth due to her age, but the last check showed no reason that she cannot eat hay, she has just never been a fan of it!

I was thinking about offering her the Dengie grass nuts soaked, and then either veteran vitality or fast fibre and then her usual supplements.
I was looking for suggestions on whether this is worth a try, and which out of fast fibre and veteran vitality is the best option to try?

Thanks so much!

Grass nuts are great for gaining condition as long as she's not a laminitic.

That's great thank you - she isn't a sufferer of laminitis but always keep an eye on her anyway!

I would favour Veteran Vitality over Fast Fibre if you want weight gain.

Fast fibre was great at putting weight on my 32yo when he struggled eating hay.
