Apologies for the delay since the last update - I've been VERY busy! Good stuff though.
I have added a new page for Results. It's great to hear when friends & customers do well at their various events, and I thought it would be good to share this news with a wider audience. The Results page can be accessed from the Events page. Have a look for the results of the Horseball Championships last weekend - our local teams did really well, particularly considering how recently they've taken up Horseball!
LOADS OF NEW PRODUCTS NOW IN STOCK:
- "Nungar Knots" natural horsemanship products - rope halters - knotted or spliced - "carrot sticks", strings, lines, etc. Excellent quality products used by many local natural horsepeople!
- Horse "Make-up" - sticks of powder to help present your horse to his absolute best - in white, brown or black.
- Plaiting spray - to help get manes under control before plaiting.
- Waist bags - for keeping all those odds & ends in.
- "Laminaze" feed supplement - by popular demand!
- "Cowboy Magic" stain remover - one of our customers says this is the best stain removal product she's found. I'm lucky, and have a bay and a chesnut - if you have a grey and need some help keeping him clean, then give this a go and let us know what you think.
- At last, we've found a supply of half chaps, so are stocked up again in all sizes.
- "Neue Schule" - we have just become stockists, and have a range of their bits now in stock. Various styles and prices.
- Barrier Super Plus Fly Gel - we've had lots of requests for this, so have brought a supply in.
- Dodson & Horrell "Equi-Bites" - biscuit type treats full of vitamins - ideal to supplement the diet of horses on grass.
- NAF "Five Star Pro Feet Powder" - another product we've had a few requests for.
Is there anything you'd like us to stock that we don't already? Just drop us a line and let us know.
