Testimonial: Debbie & Sparky

Hello,

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know the wonderful result I have had with your product Dengie Alfa-Beet. I used to work for two feed companies so am quite up on ‘horsey’ nutrition and would like to share the story of my wonderful Shetland pony with you.

SPARKYDOODY is a very famous Shetland pony being a companion to the 1995 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Master Oats. Sparky used to go everywhere with him. In his later years of life Sparky has been with me as a companion to my event horse coming to all major 3-day events and even trotting up at Blair Castle 3-day event in front of the Ground Jury for a bit of a laugh!

I acquired my dear friend when he got a serious bout of laminitis, combined with his Cushing’s and other pony problems; you name it we’ve had it! He came to live a quieter, free range chicken style of life in Devon with me. He has now retired from his main duties but still comes to the occasional show and open days etc.

Now that he is 27 years-old he has been gradually losing teeth. A few months back I nearly lost him as he was not able to eat correctly and lost about 70kgs of weight. It was heart breaking as he is only 170kg at his fattest. I really did think I was going to lose him as he was unable to, and didn’t want to eat anything.

After major dentistry resulting in the loss of five more teeth, I put Sparky onto Dengie Alfa-Beet. He gets 1 scoop of dry Alfa-Beet which is then soaked and split in to two feeds per day.
OH MY GOD. I had a new pony who wanted to eat again and we all cried. He was ravenous for your feed and the weight has slowly crept back on. He is back to his old cheeky self again and even back in work with his little 4-year-old rider.

I am so thrilled with Dengie Alfa-Beet I’m even going to try my event horse on it. Thank you once again for a fantastic product and putting it bluntly for saving my pony’s life

Best regards,

Debbie and Sparky Symons
