Caring for Your Ageing Horse

As horses enter their senior years, they require special attention and care to maintain their health and well-being. Just like humans, ageing horses face unique challenges that can affect their quality of life. Here at Thrums Vet, we understand the complexities that come with caring for an older horse and are dedicated to providing the expert guidance and veterinary care needed to help your horse age gracefully and comfortably.

As your horse ages, you may notice changes in their physical condition, behaviour, and energy levels. Conditions such as arthritis, dental issues, and metabolic disorders become more common, and maintaining a proper diet and exercise routine becomes increasingly important. Our team of experienced equine veterinarians is here to help you navigate these changes, offering personalized advice and care plans tailored to your horse’s specific needs.

Whether your horse is just beginning to show signs of ageing or is already well into their senior years, it’s never too early or too late to start thinking about how to best support their health. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to catching and managing age-related issues before they become serious problems. We also provide guidance on nutrition, weight management, joint care, and other aspects of daily care that can help your horse remain active and happy.

At Thrums Vet, we are totally committed to helping your horse live a long, healthy life. We know that every horse is unique, and we take the time to understand their individual needs and create a comprehensive care plan that promotes their well-being. With our support, you can feel confident that you are doing everything possible to ensure your senior horse enjoys their later years with vitality and comfort.
