VETERAN MIX is a high quality, highly digestible mix designed specifically for the needs of the older horse or pony. It is based on "Super-Fibre" sources which provide a similar level of calories to that of cereals but reduce the reliance on cereals in the diet helping to keep starch levels low. The combination of oil and digestible fibre provides slow-release energy helping to avoid the fizz that can be associated with cereal-based diets.

VETERAN MIX also includes essential antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which mop up free radicals helping the horse to maintain normal muscle function and decrease recovery time after exercise. Antioxidants also benefit the older horse through maintenance of normal metabolic systems and immune function, thus offering the veteran horse the best protection to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. The blend of four different herbs aids in palatability making this feed suitable for even the fussiest of eaters.

VETERAN MIX contains the high-quality protein sources required by the older horse and is fully fortified with a full spectrum of vitamins and chelated minerals. These minerals can help with complementing natural stress resistance and the immune system, plus improving coat bloom and skin and hoof quality. A live yeast culture is included to support digestive function and to aid in feed and forage utilisation.

Saracen Horse Feeds was the first British feed manufacturer to develop a ration specifically for the older horse back in 1993. As horses age, the efficiency of their digestive tract begins to reduce resulting in the need for a specifically formulated veteran ration to support the maintenance of optimum body condition. Saracen developed the Veteran range to meet this demand due to the growing population of horses over 16 years of age in the UK and in Europe today.

The ration for Saracen VETERAN MIX was ‘updated’ in 2016 to include higher levels of quality protein, and to improve the specification of the vitamins and minerals so that they met all the needs of the older horse and pony.
