We feed our 10 horses, from brood mares to youngsters, and all our competition horses with Simple Systems products. All horses do really well, look great, rate it very highly. We feed Lucie Nuts and the Linseed plus haylage. Soaking is easy, not a problem. To this we add Curragh Carron Oil.

Our 15 year old 15 hh Welsh/thoroughbred horse just qualified for the Nationals at Stoneleigh at Elementary Level and we have a very talented 14.2 who is winning all his classes at Affiliated Novice with consistent 73 + marks. Both are moving up to the next level and are certainly not held back...

Spoke to folks at Grt Witchingham this morning, Wednesday, and as far as they are concerned its all fine and they will be running. They are running on the spring course which will help. As far as I understand they are adding an extra 5 pounds to cover all the work they have had to do, my phone...
