Feeding Guidelines
Sentinel Senior is a uniquely balanced extruded feed formulated specifically for senior horses, horses with poor teeth and prematurely aging horses. Sentinel Senior may also be fed to horses when a low starch and sugar diet is recommended for maintenance of digestive and metabolic health – consult with an equine nutritionist for a recommended diet.
The suggested feeding program is intended solely as a guide. Adjust the feeding of Sentinel Senior according to individual needs and condition of the horse. The variables of management, environment, and breed may dictate changes in the horse’s dietary requirements.
Provide good-quality hay or pasture, free-choice salt and plenty of fresh water.

‘Cool’ Energy -A sequential release of energy from fat and fermentable fiber provides lower starch calories to meet complex energy demands and help maintain normal digestive health.
Healthy Rate of Intake - The light and airy nature of extruded feeds may facilitate the breakdown of feed while encouraging slow consumption and more thorough chewing for maintaining digestive health.
Nutrient Density and Release - A nutrient dense diet means more nutrition by weight, potentially delivering more of what your horse needs in less feed for ideal health and body condition.
Built-In Fiber - Fiber sources such as soybean hulls, beet pulp and alfalfa meal may help maintain healthy hind-gut fermentation while providing extra calories in a safe and natural form.
Immune Support - Antioxidant nutrients including stable vitamins and biologically available trace minerals help maintain normal health and metabolism.
Body Tissue & Integrity - Amino acids such as lysine, methionine and threonine are important for growth and maintenance of all tissues including bone, muscle, hoof and hair.
Healthy Skin and Hair Coat - Sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids plus protein, B-vitamins and trace mineral complexes may help promote healthy skin, hair coat and hoof condition.
