“Our 30 year old cob lost a lot of weight through the winter. We tried giving him Veteran Vitality and/or other soft feed (his teeth aren't brilliant) but he would take a couple of mouthfuls and walk away. We tried mixing it with chopped up carrots and apples and even resorted to hiding mints in it but he still didn't improve.
I wondered if he just wanted more crunch so, after looking for other feeds suitable for a veteran, we decided to give it a try, especially because of the slight mint aroma. We didn't give him too much the first time but he cleared the bowl. We have added a second meal in the afternoons and have also gradually increased the cubes. He's now up to a good scoop full.
He lives out with 2 mares and with shelters.”
