The Senior Horse Plan
Somewhere between 15 and 20, most horses start to change. Teeth wear down, weight slips away under a winter coat, joints take longer to warm up, and some hormone problems become more common. Every one of those changes shows up early if you know where to look.
The Senior Horse Plan is a short, practical plan for the horse who has given you his best years.
