For horse and pony owners all over the country, thankfully today being a veteran does not mean retirement!
Samantha Warnakulasuriya contacted the TopSpec nutrition team to tell them about her fantastic 23-year-old, Ruben.
This handsome bay gelding looks a picture of health and enjoys a canter around the nearby countryside.
Says Samantha: “Ruben, my 23-year-old Welsh Cob x Thoroughbred is fed on TopSpec Senior Feed Balancer. He was given to me as a ‘happy hack’ by a very good friend, who retired him from his career as a hunter, last year.
“Although he is 23 he still thinks he’s a youngster and loves nothing better than charging around the North Yorkshire Moors and National Forest.
“I like to think he also looks younger than his age and as you can probably tell…he loves the camera!
“I started giving him TopSpec Senior Feed Balancer on recommendation and he just looks fantastic.”
While Ruben is still going strong under saddle, Victoria Spouge’s, 13.2hh grey mare, Pepper is no longer ridden but is something of a miracle at well over 40!
Says Victoria: “I can’t believe Pepper has maintained her condition throughout the winter months. She is rugged up but lives out with her friend Ellie and is just in fantastic shape.
“Before I started feeding her TopSpec Senior Feed Balancer, three years ago she had very little muscle tone but now it is remarkable for a pony her age.
“I have owned Pepper for 18 years and she had never been particular vocal but ever since feeding her TopSpec she neighs when I go to feed her and trots around the field, even breaking into a canter for her morning feed.
“This winter hasn’t been particularly harsh and we have monitored our fields carefully, dividing it into sections to make sure she gets plenty of fibre from the grass as she struggles to eat hay, we do our very best for her but it is still amazing how well she looks. Thank you TopSpec.”
TopSpec Senior Feed Balancer is available with £4 off, at a special offer price of RRP £29.50 throughout February and March.
