Featured Product – GlobalVite

 

 

GlobalVite is one of the very few mineral supplements packed full of important chelated (bound to proteins) minerals. These specially formulated minerals are highly absorbable and about as close as you can get to the nutrients that your horse gets from its food.

These days ordinary pasture never contains all the nutrients that your horse needs. Mineral and vitamin deficiencies are an important cause of weakened body defences and weak joints in almost every horse. GlobalVite has been designed to maintain top condition and support immune system stability and is ideal for use with our other herbal products.

The important point to remember is that every horse is an individual and has varied mineral and vitamin requirements which also change at times of stress and disease. For most minerals, the most your horse can get the better. Typical levels of minerals advised by recognized authorities are only levels sufficient to avoid disease not levels that give optimum health.

HORSES:

Greystone Midnight Melody, owned by Mr David Kenwright & Ms Sylvia Douglas, 9 year old mare by Greystone Pathfinder, currently with 60 BE points, Molly is a very exciting mare who has progressed rapidly through the grades, winning 3 Novices, finishing 10th at Chatsworth CIC*, 2nd at Burgie CCI* and finished off 2011 winning Aske Intermediate. 2012 has so far seen Molly jump double clear around her first CIC** for 10th place.  Molly is definitely one for the future.

Zipilo, owned by Mrs Rose Dudgeon, 8 year old bay gelding by Jupilo, currently with 33 BE points, Wesley arrived on the yard in July 2010 and it is fair to say the relationship did not get off to the best of starts, competing at there first BE90 together Wesley kindly deposited Wills, however since that day, he has exceeded everyones expectations by winning 3 novices, clocking up an impressive 27 BE points and winning the Scottish Points Championship along the way. 2012 has started well collecting 4th at Oasby ON and 3rd in his first CIC* at Central Scotland.

Sponsored Rider Update – Becci Harrold

A quick update from our brilliant sponsored rider, Becci Harrold.

“I was really upset that Chatsworth was cancelled! Both my horses were raring to go. Candy has picked up 3rd place at her last event held at Draycott House which has qualified for the Mitsubishi Grassroots. My new horse Lady has been doing BSJA winning both her last classes. Candy came 2nd in the Newcomers and 4th in Discovery. Next event is at Bishop Burton then moving Candy up to Novice at Brand Hall fingers crossed for no more rain!”

Introducing New Sponsored Rider: Laura Geary

Latest story from our new sponsored rider, 17 year old Laura Geary, read her story below:

“My name is Laura Geary and I am 17. I am currently doing the first year of my A Levels. This will be my fourth season of BE eventing. The horse that I am currently competing is called Dinero and I started competing him in BE competitions last year. He is a 17hh2, black, 8yo gelding by Dimaggio. I backed him as a 3yo and I am the only person who has ever jumped him so we totally trust each other. Last season I competed him in eight BE100 competitions and we were placed 1st in five of them and 2nd, 3rd and 5th in the others. I then finished the season with two novice competitions at SOE and then Pulbourgh, we finished 7th at SOE and 2nd at Pulbourgh on our dressage score.

I had a very pleasing start to this season in the Novice at Tweseldown. During this season I am going to compete in the ONu18 classes ( I am currently entered for the ONu18 at SOE) and would like to be picked to compete at Weston Park for the South East region, this is why we wanted to start the season with a novice. If everything goes well this season I will enter a CIC* and maybe move up to intermediate. In the future I would like to aim for the Young Riders.

We are currently using quite a few Global Herbs products such as: Build up, Restore, Immune plus and Fly free. On your suggestion we shall also put him onto Globalvite and if possible could you please leave some sachets of immune plus at Grain Harvesters.

We had fantastic day at South Of England BE event on Saturday, I was competing in the ONU18(Q) section and I finished 2nd out of 27 starters.

I was very pleased with my dressage test and although there were a few minor errors I had a score of 29 which put me into 3rd place. Dinero has been moving very freely and is looking fantastic since he has been on the global herb products. Next was the show jumping, Dinero was jumping very well and he jumped a lovely clear round and it felt like one of our best show jumping rounds so far. In my section there were only 7 people clear show jumping as it was a difficult course that caught many people out. After the show jumping I moved up to 2nd place. The final stage was the cross county and it is also my favourite stage, Dinero gave me a fantastic ride and we came home clear and with just 2 time penalties. We took all of the direct routes and met every jump on the correct stride. I feel like our partnership and performance gets better at every event. I finished in 2nd place and this was extremely good considering it was only our second event of the season and also it was only our 4th novice. I am going to do some more novices and then my aim is to move up to intermediate later on in the season.

Since Dinero has been on the Global Herb products we have seen a change in his condition and the muscleup has really helped him.”

Amanda Kay’s Story – Sarc Cream

We’ve just had a great testimonial posted on our Facebook page from one of our fans, Amanda Kay, that we wanted to share with our blog readers.

Amanda had great success with Sarc Cream – you can read more below.

“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you. I have always gone for “traditional” fixes for things (mainly my vet) but when my youngster developed a sarcoid my options were “liverpool cream” which is highly costly as it has to be administered by a vet, or, look elswhere. After looking round, I decided to try your Sarc Cream, giving it three weeks to show results or I would start the vet treatment.

Within days the angry, red sarcoid had scabbed. After a week, bits were falling off and by week 3 it was less than a quarter of its original size. Now two months later it has completely gone. Cannot say a big enough thank you that I didn’t have to pump my youngster with chemicals and it has saved me a fortune. Thanks again.
