Vetro Collection for Senior Horses
SENIOR HORSE SUPPLEMENTS
Supporting Your Horse Through Their Golden Years
Because every stage of their life deserves the very best care.
Our horses give us years of companionship, loyalty and unforgettable memories. As they get older, their needs can change, and providing the right nutritional support becomes an important part of keeping them happy and cared for.
At Vetro Collection, we understand that every horse ages differently. Whether your horse is still enjoying regular work, taking things a little easier or enjoying a well-earned retirement, our range of targeted supplements is designed to help you support their changing needs.
Give your golden oldie the care they deserve.
Caring for Your Horse as They Age
Getting older doesn’t mean the end of adventures. Many senior horses continue to enjoy hacking, competing, schooling and spending time with their favourite people well into their later years.
However, as horses age, their nutritional requirements, workload and general management needs may change. From maintaining a consistent routine to reviewing their diet, small adjustments can make a difference to their day-to-day care.
Choosing the right supplement can form part of a considered approach to supporting your horse throughout their senior years.
Every Horse Is Different
There is no single age at which a horse becomes a senior. Some horses remain active and competitive well into their twenties, while others need additional support much earlier.
Understanding your horse’s individual needs is the first step towards choosing the right nutritional support.

Keeping Your Senior Horse Happy and Healthy
Good senior horse care goes beyond supplements. A consistent management routine, appropriate nutrition and regular health checks all play a role in supporting your horse as they age.
A few things to consider:
-
Review their diet: Nutritional requirements can change with age, workload and body condition.
-
Monitor body condition: Keep an eye on weight, topline and changes in appetite.
-
Prioritise dental care: Regular dental checks can help identify issues that affect eating and condition.
-
Maintain movement: Tailor exercise to your horse’s individual ability and veterinary advice.
-
Keep routines consistent: Familiar surroundings and predictable routines can help make day-to-day management easier.
-
Arrange regular health checks: Work with your vet to identify and manage age-related changes.
Remember, sudden changes in weight, appetite, behaviour or mobility should be discussed with your vet.
They Have Looked After You. Now It’s Your Turn.
From your first ride together to years of adventures, your horse has been part of your story.
As they enter their senior years, the little things matter just as much as the big moments. Thoughtful nutrition, attentive management and the right support can help you continue making the most of your time together.
At Vetro Collection, we’re here to help you make informed choices for every stage of your horse’s life.
Because age is just one part of their story.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is a horse considered a senior?
There is no universal age at which a horse becomes a senior. Ageing varies between individuals, and factors such as workload, health, breed and management all influence their needs.
Does my older horse need a supplement?
Not every senior horse needs additional supplementation. The right choice depends on their existing diet, workload, health and individual requirements. Review their diet with your vet or equine nutritionist before introducing a new supplement.
Can my senior horse continue working?
Many older horses remain active for years. Exercise should be appropriate to their individual condition, comfort and fitness, with veterinary guidance where needed.
How do I choose the right Vetro Collection supplement?
Start by identifying your horse’s individual needs and reviewing their current diet and management. Explore the relevant product information and consult your vet or an equine nutritionist if you are unsure which supplement is appropriate.
How can I help maintain my horse’s condition as they age?
Consistent feeding, suitable forage, regular dental care, monitoring body condition, appropriate exercise and routine veterinary checks all contribute to good senior horse management.

Vetrofen Intense has been excellent for our 18yr old advanced dressage horse. We upped the serve for long journeys travelling to comps and when work is harder at competitions as well as day to day

Really noticed the difference in my 12yr old TB who lives out 24/7. This really helped him after coming back from a minor injury and now at 100% we’ve been able to get back to training for our upcoming BD comps.
