Description

Put condition back on a hard-working older horse with Sentinel Active Senior Horse Feed, a 100% extruded high-fat, high-fiber formula from Kent. A fortified balance of nutrients and an exclusive blend of natural additives meets the raised demands of active seniors, seniors that need more body condition, hard keepers and performance horses on lower-protein hay, all in a feed that digests easily for optimal nutrient use.

Key Features

  • 12% Crude Fat: A high-fat formula supplies dense, cool calories for weight gain and sustained work without loading the ration with grain.
  • gutWise™ Technology: Prebiotics, probiotics, marine-sourced calcium and NutriVantage® for horses work together to maintain total digestive health.
  • Low NSC: Sugar stays at 4.2% maximum, keeping the diet suitable for horses whose veterinarian has flagged metabolic or digestive concerns.
  • Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Guaranteed levels, plus biotin and balanced minerals, support skin, hair coat, hoof condition and strong joints and bones.
  • Built-In Fiber: Soybean hulls, beet pulp and alfalfa meal feed healthy hindgut fermentation and provide safe, natural calories.
  • Easy to Chew: Light, airy extruded nuggets break down readily and slow consumption, which helps aging teeth and steady digestion.
  • Advanced Antioxidant Package: Vitamins and organic trace minerals offer immune support for normal health and metabolism.

How to Use

Feed by body weight, using 0.40 to 0.60 lb per 100 lb daily for mature horses in light exercise, 0.45 to 0.70 lb in moderate exercise, 0.60 to 0.80 lb in heavy exercise and 0.70 to 1.30 lb in very heavy exercise. Rescue horses take 0.60 to 1.25 lb per 100 lb. Divide the daily amount into two or more feedings and adjust for condition, management and breed. Offer good-quality hay or pasture, free-choice salt and plenty of fresh water. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and use it promptly. This feed contains supplemental copper – do not feed it to sheep.

Active Senior carries 12% minimum crude fat against 5.5% in Sentinel Senior, so it delivers far more calories per pound for weight gain and work. Kent lists it as the recommended choice for senior horses in heavy exercise and for hard keepers. Sentinel Senior is the complete feed for the quieter retiree with poor teeth.
Change gradually over seven to ten days, replacing about a quarter of the old feed every couple of days until the transition is complete. Watch manure and appetite through the switch and slow down if either changes. Because the feed is calorie dense, start at the low end of the range and adjust up as condition dictates.
It is 100% extruded, so the bag holds uniform light nuggets rather than a loose textured mix with molasses. The nuggets can be soaked into a soft mash for horses that struggle to chew. Approximately 0.85 lb fills one quart, so weigh rather than scoop when setting rations.
Yes, keep good-quality hay or pasture in front of the horse along with free-choice salt and fresh water. The formula already includes probiotics, organic trace minerals and guaranteed omega fatty acids, so a separate coat or digestive supplement is usually redundant. Store the bag cool and dry, and keep it away from sheep because of the added copper.
