What you feed to a senior horse will depend on how health the horses teeth are. Horses are considered seniors once they reach 15 years of age and older. Typically once a horse reaches this age it will begin to lose some ability to chew tougher food and will require more dental maintenance.
The best thing to do is consult with both a equine veterinarian and a equine nutritionist on what would be best for your individual horse. However the most common things fed to senior horses are: Soaked beet pulp, hay pellets, hay cubes (soaked), senior feeds either pelleted , textured, or extruded, flaxseed (linseed) , rice bran, and many other things.

It all depends on your horses amount of exercise and their current weight. There are all sorts of different grains and types of hay.

If your horse is older you could feed them something like John Lyons or Purina Senior Horse feed. It all just depends on what your horse is like to suite horse horses own personal needs feed wise.
