Feed suggestions for arthritic veteran??

[Hels_Bells]

Just wondering what everyone else feeds their elderly horses as I'm wondering if I could be giving mine something better. He is 31 and doing really well but has been on the same feed for many years now and there seem to be loads of great new products out there so looking for suggestions about what works for other people.

He currently gets D&H 16+, Bran, Sugarbeet and codliver oil and bute twice daily. Plus all day grazing then haylage and readigrass overnight.

That sounds comprehensive to me, if he looks and seems to feel well I personally wouldn't change a thing.

I completely know where your coming from, i'm very tempted to leave well alone, but then thought it would be good to get some opinions just in case I could be giving him something better or a different mix that helps his joints etc!

Topspec Senior. I've had 2 on it since last May or so and don't feed any other supplements apart from salt. It is expensive but I haven't been able to replicate what it does cheaper using individual ingredients (pre/pro biotic, joint support, etc). Neither of my oldies is currently needing bute and both are less stiff than before they went on it.
