Hay replacer for old horse, please help?

[tabithakat64]

My friends old horse (35), has very few teeth and is struggling to eat hay/hayledge, he will not eat alpha a/hi fi as a hay replacer. What else can she give him? (He is still managing to eat his hard feed).

You could try Spillers Happy Hoof (which is softer than Alfa A or HiFi) or if that is still too difficult for him to chew then try a soaked fibre feed - something like AlfaBeet or soaked High Fibre cubes.

Soaked hi fibre cubes are excellent. I know of a 36 old toothless pony who is fed 5 times a day on these and is doing really well.

I know a 36yo pony who has never looked so good since being on soaked Spillers High Fibre Cubes - definitely recommend them.

Or use the grass pellets which are soaked before use from Simple Systems.

Try Le Brick its fantastic, I work at a retirement home for horses and all of them that need hay replacers have these and look fantastic on them.

Ditto!!!! Simon was fed on these when he was ill and couldnt chew. He loved them and you can more or less feed them ad lib.
