@ponyprincess25 hey :) This is him 4 years ago.. and he still looks just as good now! :) I feed him a big scoop of Mitavite gumnuts, a scoop of Copra, Equilibrium, and about 6 double handed big handfuls of Lucerne chaff. He gets that 3 times a day, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner :) It get be a big exxy, but its worth it <3

A prime example that old does not equal thin! Your boy looks great for his age.

@RizismyBaby Exactly! If you feed them well they will not VERY well and a lot of it, lol. He costs me about $70 a week to feed. <3

i have a 25 year old standardbred mare who is going fantastic and acts like a 3 year oldd but is never skinny allways fat :) beautiful horse

Blue Seal that is. Also high fat, low carb feed is good - Blue Seal Sentinal Senior is great.

Wonderful ! For those of you with senior horses this shows that old does not equal thin. Look after their teeth, worming and FEED them. A good high protein "ration balancer" can do wonders. I like Blur Seal Sunshine Plus. Also use a farrier who will keep those toes from getting too high or long so their feet don't get out of balance. Good job on this lovely horse! Congrats!

So cute! I have a 34 year old Appaloosa named Patches, and this horse's expression reminded me of him :)
