Ensuring the Best Care for Elderly Horses: Remus Horse Sanctuary Hosts Specialist Workshop

Remus Horse Sanctuary is inviting horse owners, carers, and equine enthusiasts to a dedicated Elderly Horse Workshop on Sunday 6 April 2025 at its premises near Ingatestone in Essex. This informative event will provide essential guidance on how to best support and care for ageing horses, offering expert advice on welfare, nutrition, and common health concerns.

As horses age, their care requirements change significantly, and understanding these needs is crucial for their long-term wellbeing. The workshop will be led by Remus staff member, Sue Moloney, covering key aspects of elderly horse care, including dentition, worming, colic, PPID/EMS and laminitis, arthritis, and enrichment. Additionally, Dengie Nutritionist Tracey Hammond MSc (Dist) will provide invaluable insights into feeding older horses, addressing age-related challenges such as poor teeth and weight loss that require careful dietary adjustments.

Attendees will gain practical knowledge and expert guidance to ensure their senior equines remain happy and healthy for as long as possible. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to learn from specialists, ask questions, and discover ways to enhance the quality of life for older horses.

Sue Burton, Founder of Remus Horse Sanctuary, said: “We are passionate about ensuring that elderly horses receive the care and attention they deserve. This workshop is designed to empower owners and carers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions for their horses’ later years.”
