Baileys Senior Soft & Lite 20kg

The Baileys Senior Soft & Lite 20kg is a specialised feed formulated for older horses and ponies, particularly those who are easy keepers or have dental challenges. This low-starch, reduced-calorie blend (starch 8%, sugar 3%) is gentle on the digestive system, making it suitable for horses with PPID (Cushing’s) or those prone to laminitis (unless overweight).

This feed contains a high-fibre mix, including Prealpine meadow grasses and highly digestible superfibres, designed to supply slow-release calories. This variety of fibres also supports a balanced gut microbiome, promoting digestive health and encouraging microbial diversity.

Senior Soft & Lite is fortified with proteins essential for muscle maintenance and tissue repair, addressing the age-related loss of muscle tone and top line. It also includes essential vitamins and minerals, as well as micronised linseed and soya oil, to support a shiny coat and overall wellbeing.

With a triple digestive support system—FOS and MOS prebiotics, live probiotic yeast, and postbiotics—the feed helps maintain gut health, immunity, and a balanced gut-brain connection. Sustainably sourced nettle, rich in antioxidants and key nutrients, is added to assist the body in managing stress and inflammation.

To accommodate horses with dental issues, Senior Soft & Lite can be fed as a dry mix for those with full dentition or soaked to a soft mash in just 10 minutes, ideal for those needing a softer feed. Enhanced with essential oil extracts for taste, even picky eaters will find this feed appealing.
