Dodson & Horrell Sixteen Plus Cubes

Support your senior horse's lifelong vitality, condition, and digestive health with Dodson & Horrell Sixteen Plus Cubes. Specifically formulated for veteran horses and ponies aged sixteen and over, these highly digestible, high-calorie conditioning cubes are engineered to help older equines maintain an ideal weight, strong muscle topline, and optimal mobility.

As horses age, their digestive efficiency naturally declines. Sixteen Plus Cubes tackle this by utilising an exceptionally high-fiber and high-oil matrix, delivering safe, slow-release conditioning calories without relying on high-starch cereal loads. Fully approved by the vet team at Dodson & Horrell, this formula is heavily fortified with source-specific nutritional therapies—including Glucosamine and MSMs for joint support, powerful antioxidants to aid the immune system, and live actisaf yeasts to keep the hindgut functioning perfectly.

🐴 Why Choose Sixteen Plus Cubes?

• 💪 Premium Conditioning & Weight Support: High in calorie-dense oils and digestible fibers to combat age-related weight loss and muscle wastage.
• 🦴 Integrated Joint Care: Packed with Glucosamine, MSM, and Celmanax to cushion ageing joints, promote mobility, and soothe stiffness.
• 🌾 Safe, Low-Starch Formula: Carefully balanced to minimise structural starches, making it suitable for older horses requiring a controlled diet.
• 🦠 Advanced Hindgut Care: Fortified with protected live yeasts to enhance fiber breakdown and maximise nutrient absorption in older digestive tracks.

📋 Stable Feeding & Management Guide

Recommended Daily Feed Rates:

• 250kg Pony (Light Work / Maintenance): 1.0kg – 1.5kg per day.
• 500kg Horse (Light/Medium Work): 2.0kg – 3.0kg per day.
• 600kg Large Horse (Conditioning / Hard Work): 3.5kg – 4.5kg per day.

Feeding Protocols:

1. Divide Into Portions: Senior horses thrive on smaller, frequent meals. Split the total daily allocation into 2 to 3 manageable portions across the day.
2. The Soaking Solution: If your veteran struggles with loose or missing teeth, add warm water to these cubes at a 1:2 ratio and leave for 10 minutes to create a highly palatable, easily swallowed mash.
3. Forage Baseline: Always pair this feed with fine-stemmed, high-quality forage or short-chop chaff alternatives if your horse can no longer chew traditional long-stem hay effectively.
4. ⭐ Top Tip: Because senior horses are more sensitive to internal temperature drops, slightly increasing their Sixteen Plus ration during bitter winter snaps provides the slow-burning internal thermal heat they need to stop dropping condition.
