Winter 2012

Well Christmas 2011 now seems a distant memory but are you sticking to those New Year resolutions – well let's hope so!

2012 is a major sporting year with Olympic fever slowly building with athletes preparing and training hard. Thinking of the equine athlete planning and training for the competitive season is one of the keys to success whether your aims are riding around Badminton, competing at the Olympics, going clear show jumping or attending your first local show.

What you feed your horse is vitally important, ensuring that he or she has enough controllable energy to perform, looks fit and healthy and is receiving all the essential vitamins and minerals required for a balanced diet are the foundations for a successful competition season no matter what level you compete at.

However, should you have any specific questions on what to feed your horse in readiness for the season contact the Dengie Feedline 0845 345 5115 for detailed information.
