Keep Your Senior Horse Healthy

Support Your Horse’s Golden Years

As horses age, their bodies often function less efficiently than they did in younger years. Adding a foundation formula full of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, trace minerals and more can help support longevity and total body health. Seniors may also need advanced support for digestion, joints and metabolism. Find out how Platinum can help your horse.

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight supports skin, coat, gastric and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage. It is made from flax oil, a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it a healthy alternative to corn oil. The 1-gallon Healthy Weight now comes in an easy tip-to-measure container made from a material that protects the formula from degradation due to UV light. Administration of the 5-gallon Healthy Weight oil is easier with the Healthy Weight Pump, sold separately.

Platinum Performance® client since 2015

“I’ve owned Misty, a 29-year-old Quarter Horse mare, since she was 5 years old. She was competitive in jackpot barrel racing and college rodeos in her prime. Now she is enjoying retirement and continues to be sassy as ever. I’ve maintained her on quality grass/alfalfa mix, Purina’s Strategy and Platinum Performance® Equine for the past ten years and couldn’t be happier with her body condition and general health.”
— S. RUSSELL, DVM

Woody

Platinum Performance® client since 2021

“My vet recommended your wellness supplement and the Metabolic Support when my daughter’s POA, Woody, was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance. I saw immediate positive effects in his coat, and after changing his grain to a no-carb formula, he started losing weight quickly. The 2 supplements helped him process what he was eating. After seeing the positive effects in Woody, I started giving the Platinum Performance Equine to my senior Arabian and he looks so much better too. Thank you Platinum!”
