I think the Veterans Supplement helps to keep my 30year old Anglo Arab happy. He still looks good and has plenty of energy.

The addition of the supplement didn't put him off his feed. Gives peace of mind that my old TB boy of 24 is getting the supplements he needs - and he now has moments where he is as lively as a Spring Chicken still!.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding NAF Veteran Supplement for Horses, including answers from our team.

What is the best supplement for a TB who is looking great but hocks are little stiff ??
The NAF Veteran is a great supplement to support the general challenges an older horse may face. If your horse is stiff in the hocks and you are wanting a particular supplement to help this then I advise focusing on nutrients to support the joints, muscles and tendons. Science supplements Flexability Plus is a great joint supplement. Nettex Joint and Muscle is a good more generalised supplement. There are a wide variety of other options and I recommend searching our site for our selection.

My horse has cushings and is dropping weight. He is on Prascend and is on a large feed of chaff, cushcare, speedibeet, readigrass and some lo calory cubes. Still dropping weight, so he possibly needs a balancer?
A balancer or veteran supplement is a good idea to try to help with weight gain. These contain nutrients that help with normal gut/body function and in turn this can reduce weight loss that is occuring. However they are not primarily made to help with weight building. Unfortunately weight building supplements often contain high sugar levels and this is not recommended for horse's with Cushings.
