What Supplement Should I Give My Senior Horse ?

For an aging horse, it can be beneficial to provide supplements that support overall health and address specific needs related to aging.

Digestive health support

Digestive issues are common in older horses. Probiotics and prebiotics help maintain a healthy gut microbiota, supporting optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.

Example: Arbalou Immuno-Digest

Metabolic support

Senior horses are more prone to metabolic disorders such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Cushing’s disease.

Examples:

• Arbalou Meta+
• Arbalou Cush Horse

Immune system support

An aging immune system becomes weaker, making horses more susceptible to infections and illness.

Antioxidant-rich supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium help support immune defenses and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Example: Arbalou Activimmun

General health support

Senior horses benefit from complete vitamin and mineral supplementation to ensure adequate nutrient intake.

Arbalou Soins has developed two specific senior horse supplements:

• a 100% plant-based powder formula
• a palatable granulated formula, ideal for horses living outdoors or without grain ration
