Itchy Horse Company – Tablets and Boett Rugs – Sponsor
Itchy Horse Company Ltd was formed not only to supply the best solutions but also to offer expertise and advice with no obligation, as we fully understand the distress caused by this condition to carer/owner and horse.
We have extensive experience with Sweet-Itch, owning three horses with the condition, and also having many years as manager of The National Sweet-Itch Centre giving help and advice.
Bio-Plus Capsules, Boett Blankets and Hoods can all be purchased online.
I cannot explain how amazing these have been with three of my horses, from dreading the summer to now being able to control the horses itching (tails on hay racks, necks on fences etc!!) the tablets given weekly have completely stopped with sweet itch problem I was facing with the horses (And a pony) and the rugs just manage the problem and stop them from wanting to rug anymore. Thank you so much for your support and help it really is appreciated.

Baileys Horse Feeds – Sponsor
I am very pro
ud to say all my horses are fed and brought up on Baileys horse feeds from my Stallions to youngstock, the fantastic condition and trainable attitudes is down to getting the correct diet for all of the horses.
Family Background
In this modern world of big multi national corporations, Baileys Horse Feeds remains quite unique in being family owned and run since its inception in 1982. There are two generations working to progress equine nutrition in the 21st century plus other couples and siblings throughout the factory and office-based teams. What’s important about so many of the people behind the Baileys brand is that they are true horse men and women, with many of them not just owning horses but actively competing, racing and breeding them. This means that we’re familiar with the practicalities of keeping and feeding horses, we know the challenges our customers face and we understand their needs.
Science & Technology
Just because we’re “horsey”, it doesn’t mean we don’t keep up with the times – our nutrition team, led by Liz Bulbrook BSc (Hons), constantly review the latest scientific research, into feed technology and equine nutrition, and apply relevant developments to our product range. Baileys has a working partnership with Progressive Nutrition, Iowa, USA, headed by leading American equine nutritionist, Don Kapper which gives Baileys access to the extensive research that he and Progressive are undertaking and offers the potential for further innovations across our range. We are also proud to include Alltech naturally produced feed additives which are backed by years of research and proven to bring real nutritional benefits. With our continuous investment in production technology too, the “science behind Baileys” truly is of the highest calibre.
Friendly, Practical Support
With the wealth of knowledge and experience behind Baileys’ products, it’s hardly surprising they are so effective and so well respected. Our team of nutritionists is also available to offer no obligation, practical advice and to help you explore all your feeding options. They can be contacted during office hours by phone or email, certainly won’t advocate change for the sake of it and may simply reassure you that you are doing the right thing. For friendly, practical advice, the Baileys team are hard to beat and, as well as answering your calls and emails, spend many hours on the road visiting yards or giving talks to riding and pony clubs.
Please see their webpage for more information or contact me for an advice or experiences I have had myself.

Equiform Nutrition – Sponsor
lara uses stay calm on a selection of her competition horses. It is a liquid feed supplement formulated to provide a calming effect on horses and ponies that display nervous and temperamental behaviour. It is ideal for competition horses that may become stressed when competing and travelling, and is also effective in many other situations where the horse may become anxious.
Stay-Calm is designed for horses of all ages, breeds and disciplines, and can be used in conjunction with other Equiform supplements with confidence to reduce stress at times of excitement and anticipation.
To achieve a calming effect Equiform have formulated a product containing magnesium, Vitamin B1,B2 and B3. The addition of Vitamin E also helps maintain a healthy nervous system. Tryptophan has also been added as it is naturally occurring in the horses’ body and acts as a calming agent. To complete the formulation, key natural flower remedies have been included.
Instructions For Use
It is best to allow around 3 days for Stay-Calm liquid to take effect before a stressful period is expected. Stay Calm should be fed to horses at a level of 60ml per day & ponies 30ml per day. It may be beneficial to feed 90ml during the 1st 5 days; the level of Stay Calm fed may be reduced gradually over time depending upon the level of stress and the behaviour of the horse.

It is universally trusted in human clinical and sporting settings for its superior pressure relieving, impact and sheer force reducing qualities.

Holland Cooper – Friends
N
eeds no explanation really………. I love all her products, so comfy and classy yet practical and last years!!!! My first outfit was to go in the royal box at Windsor in 2009 and it is still going strong! Jade has now brought out a fantastic Equestrian range and I was very privileged to be sent some really lovely products from this range and now love wearing her breeches and base layers.
Holland Cooper is a brand so synonymous with British luxury it’s recognised instantly in its use of the most superior Scottish woven tweed and wool combined with the finest suede and leather offering luxury tailoring for both men and women.
Established in 2008 designer Jade Holland Cooper saw a gap in the market for contemporary tweed wear, and armed with a wealth of design experience, infused with her passion for outdoor pursuits ensnared and consequently monopolised this market sector.
