Caring for veteran horses

Series 3 - Friday 16th October with Nicola Housby Skeggs

In the final episode of this series, we explore how to meet the needs of older horses – both physically and mentally to ensure they are supported through their twilight years. Join Nicola Housby Skeggs, Veterinary Director at the Horse Trust to discover how horses’ bodies change as they age, their nutritional and behavioural requirements and the importance of assessing their quality of life.

For further advice on assessing your veteran horse’s quality of life and guidance on end of life options, please see our Equine end of life advice page.
