Yes, we have several products, including supplements and feeds, depending on the horse’s needs. In general, our Sentinel Performance LS and Sentinel Senior extruded feed products have both worked well for horses with PSSM. We also have Sentinel Care Carb Guard and other Sentinel Care supplements that may be more appropriate, depending on the individual horse. (Jeanne van der Veen)
I would recommend Sentinel Performance LS extruded horse feed. An extruded feed is easily broken down by horses with poor dentition, and it can also be easily made into a mash. This feed also contains 12% fat for efficient weight gain and high fiber content for naturally safe feeding. In addition, Sentinel Performance LS contains multiple ingredients to support an aging horse’s digestive system. (Jeanne van der Veen)
The mare may need additional vitamins and minerals in the last two to three months of gestation to support foal growth, along with energy to maintain body condition. The horse may need a protein, mineral and vitamin supplement, like Sentinel Care Equine Choice Topline 30. During the last two to three weeks before foaling, it’s recommended to switch to a feed designed for lactation and foaling, like Sentinel Safe Start or Sentinel XT Grow. (Kristyn Sturken)
Yes, Sentinel Senior can safely be fed to a senior pony. Continue to monitor body condition so the pony doesn’t become overweight. You could also consider Sentinel Simply Lite, an extruded feed for adult horses, ponies and miniatures that need a restricted calorie diet or reduced feeding rate to maintain healthy body conditions. It is balanced and concentrated with lower fat for easy keepers that don’t need additional calories for maintenance. (Kristyn Sturken)
In general, feeding recommendations for mini horses are similar to feeding standard-size horses, with adjustments for weight and body condition. Maintaining proper body condition is very important since many mini horses tend to become overweight due to overfeeding. Also, feeding products with controlled low-to-moderate starch and sugar levels may be beneficial. (Jeanne van der Veen)
