MARS Partnership
MySeniorHorse.com is an innovative platform aspiring to be the world’s leading source of information for horses, ponies, donkeys and mules that are 15 years of age and older. The site is launched in partnership with Linda Mars and the Mars portfolio of equine-focused products and services which include BUCKEYE™ Nutrition, SPILLERS™, WALTHAM™ Equine Studies Group, ANTECH™, SOUND® and MARS EQUESTRIAN™.
The Mars portfolio of equine-focused products and services support senior equids through research, educational scholarships and fellowships, sponsorship, nutrition products and diagnostics that support senior horse health, performance, behavior and welfare. Additionally, Linda Mars, philanthropist and avid horsewoman, has supported senior equids for many years, most recently with the opening of the Linda Mars Aged Horse Care and Education Facility at the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment’s C. Oran Little Research Farm.
The partnership of MySeniorHorse.com helps the Mars portfolio of equine-focused products and services live out their mission to create a better world for horses.
An international advisory board, with members who are global experts with particular emphasis on senior horses, ponies, donkeys and mules, oversees the website’s core educational content, helping to ensure accurate and up-to-date information.
