Senior horses and ponies often leave special stories and memories in the hearts of their owners. Purina is giving these senior horse owners the opportunity to share their stories with other horse enthusiasts across the nation as they announce the return of the Purina® Senior Horse Tales Contest.
“Each year Purina is fortunate to hear stories about senior horses and ponies from people across the country,” said Chris Goodwin, marketing manager, Land O’Lakes Purina Feed. “Heartfelt, funny or adventurous—these stories illustrate the strong bond between senior horses and their owners. These relationships have often been formed over a lifetime and we’re proud—through our love of feeding animals—to have been a part of these tales.”
Horse enthusiasts can enter their memorable, one-of-a-kind senior horse tale online at www.activestill.com. Entrants are encouraged to include a photo of their senior horse and mention how Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed has played a role in their story.
“Purina Horse Feed is proud of the investment in nutrition research we’ve made to help horses live longer, healthier lives through good nutrition,” said Goodwin. “We understand the connection our customers have with their horses. We’re looking forward to the stories we’ll receive in the contest this year and hope to hear touching stories like these for years to come.”
Equine lovers will have until April 18 to enter their senior horse tale. The three winners will win their choice of a ton of free Purina® Equine Senior® or Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed.
Purina recently introduced new Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed. Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed now joins the original Equine Senior® horse feed formula as one of two trusted nutritional choices for feeding aging horses.
While the original Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed remains the industry gold standard in senior horse health and nutrition, Purina is proud to announce the addition of new Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed to their family of feed products.
The new Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® feed is formulated for the aging horse that can still consume and digest forage and benefit from the calorically-dense formula to support their active lifestyle. The original Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed is formulated for horses with compromised dentition and/or digestion and has the proper levels of roughage and fiber built in to meet the needs of these horses.
For more information on the Purina® Senior Horse Tales Contest, both Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed formulas, or Purina® Senior Horse Tales Contest official rules, log on to www.activestill.com. A complete list of prize winners will be available on the site by May 9.
Top Gun is 37 yrs old, and has taught numerous children to ride, trust, love, and respect Gods Creation “the Horse”.
From 3 yr,olds to adults, he’s been shown at local Fun Shows. He’s tired now, but when he sees a Show Ring, Top Gun sets his head, eyes perked up, and he’s Showing he’s still got it. The Trail Class is when the children really shine because Top Gun is secure in himself, and with his people. So there’s no obstacle he won’t accept.
If we thought he should retire, he would. But Top Gun Loves the children, and has a life, a purpose.
I pray you’ll award him w/the Purina Senior Feed.
Thank You
Mary Ann

Good luck!

My 34 year old Hanovarian mare, Dossier, is the best horse in the world for instilling confidence in new and therapeutic riders. At 34 she is a little stiff, but still loves to get out side and take her rider for long rides. She also lovers her Senior feed and cannot wait to dig into it AM and PM. She excells in teaching therpaeutic riding. She understands that first rides are often a little scary and is very patient when it comes to mounting. She has been in her long career a Gran Prix Dressage horse, a hunter, a field hunter and a broodmare. She just had her last baby as age 30. She is not in her “retirement” years and still hangs out with her next to last foal, Imzadie, who is her best friend in the whole world. A greater horse and companion you could not find anywhere.
