What do you feed your oldies?

Retired 26yo fed unmollassed sugar beet, alfa a, soaked badminton conditioning nuggets and a joint supplement.
 
depends what you class as old i guess? mine is 19 but still working fairly hard so he gets a scoop of mollichaff and 1/2 scoop comp mix. hes not really working hard enough to justify the comp mix but it just gives him a bit more sparkle when i ride
 
My 25yo retired TB with Arthritis & muscular problems is on -

Topspec Topchop Alfa, Topspec Senior Balancer & Topspec Cool condition Cubes. He then has Micronised Linseed, Supplease Gold, Boswellia & a Danilon.
I know this sounds stupid for an old boy but he also has a scoop of Relax me Calmer as he can go off like a bottle of pop.
All of this gets mixed into a mushy soup.

He also gets a syringe of Succeed a night also, he's a very spoilt retired boy.

He's on Add lib top quality haylage which is fed from the floor.
 
My 25 year old arab is on dengie senior, mollichaff veteran (which he loves, smells gorgeous) dodsen 16plus, NAF superflex & haylage balancer and ad lib haylage

18 yo Belgian Warmblood on one scoop of molichaff showshine, half a scoop of spillers senior mix, half a scoop of fast fibre, glug of linseed oil and equiflex joint supplement. As well as 4 wedges of hay a day.

If ridden in the evening after work he gets some token chaff with a handful of mix in. He is a good doer oldie and can be quite fizzy.
 
retired 30+ veteran with very few teeth (ie about 6-8 molars left & all front teeth) & has arthritis has:
1 scoop alfalfa with oil
2 scoops own brand (cwg) veteran mix
1.5scoops flaked barley
1.5scoops sugarbeet
with joint & digestive ssupplements, additional oil & 1/2bute

Due to his teeth situation he struggles to eat hay but has it available if he wants.
Hes well rugged through winter & stabled at night & seems to be holding his own very well.

My old mare, of unknown age but upwards of late twenties according to EDT and vet has

D&H Barley rings and Molassed sugar beet soaked together into slop (no front teeth, dodgy remaining teeth) divided into two feeds, with a cup of linseed oil, and biotal equine gold in her second feed.

She's also having, as a partial hay replacer, 2.5KG's of Dengie HI-Fi Senior, but I'm steadily increasing the amounts.
 
27ish retired 14.3 piebald mare gets 4 slices of hay, six scoops of ready grass one scoop alfa oil (this is being reduced and replaced with the ready grass) in a trug for overnight, two feeds of a scoop each time of soaked grass nuts, along with wheatgerm and a joint supplement. She is doing very nicely on this. Currently in at night and out during the day, usually without rugs as she gets very warm.
