Frequently Asked Questions

I am trying to decide on a good feed for my 18-year-old gelding. He had a bout with laminitis about two years ago & I have been afraid to feed him ever since. He has been on pasture (at night only), good grass hays, beet pulp and a hoof supplement. Now my vet says he is losing muscle tone & needs a low-starch, high fat complete feed. Can you recommend a product?

Seminole Senior Formula and Seminole Wellness Senior Mix are two products that are made exactly for horses like yours. They are low-starch formulas that help prevent additional occurrences with laminitis problems, and at the same time it provides a source of calories (digestible fibers and fat) that horses can absorb, utilize and gain weight on. It also contains yucca as an anti-inflammatory, MOS (mannanoligasaccharide) that binds pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract and a mycotoxin adsorbent. Any of these situations can be a contributor to laminitis problems and to maintaining weight.

We always recommend free access to Seminole Grass Balancer Horse Mineral Blocks for a source of minerals. These blocks are concentrated enough for horses that are on mostly grass hay or pasture. The trace minerals in the block are helpful to the horse to develop good hoof, skin, hair, bone muscle, tendon and all of the endocrine and digestive functions.
