I was recommended Simple Systems by a friend. I was at the end of my tether, my 17hh 16yr old TB, moved from Cornwall to Suffolk with me 18 months ago. He was not doing well on the lack of grass and the colder temperatures, so naturally decreased in weight quite rapidly. I was doing everything possible to keep weight on him. He was having 3 feeds a day which were buckets FULL to the brim of sugar beet, oils, build up mixes and cubes, hi-fi, readigrass...you name it he had it and nothing worked. I then started introducing him to Simple Systems Lucie Nuts and mixing it in with the sugar beet. The lucie nuts did help him gain weight, but not to the extent that he needed, so i contacted Simple Systems and explained my situation. Helen emailed me back almost instantly with a very thorough list o... Read more

I have owned Hamlin Holly (Tegan) for just over a year now. When she first arrived she was an overweight, stressed and depressed 5 year old - I put this down to the way she wasn't allowed to be a horse with past owners, just an object, there to win rossettes. She was hardly turned out or hacked out and pumped with unsuitable, unnessesary feeds - this clearly wasn't the lifestyle for her. However, when I went to try her I realised that all that sadness and anger was because she simply wasn't allowed to be a horse, and whilst her presence and overall look wowed me, the way she was saddened me, that such a wonderful animal wasn't allowed to be 'normal'. Cutting a long story short - she came back to my yard! I started by getting her on a diet and cutting out all the rubb... Read more

5 weeks ago my poor horse Cher went through a couple of bouts of colic followed by choke. Her poor body was exhausted from the stress, pain and discomfort. I began talking to Helen in the helpline office as the vet had mentioned Gastric ulcers!  We exchanged many emails and phone calls.  With her suggestion we changed on to Simple System. I now feed Blue Bag Grass Pellets, Top Nosh & unmolassed sugar beet. The first picture is my beautiful mare at a show earlier this year looking as she should!

The third picture is her one week later and the fourth picture is how she is looking now 3 weeks later! I know we have a long way to go but the change in m... Read more

I had been using Simple Systems for around a year for my two Shires who love the feed, and perform well and look good on it. In June of this year I took on a rescue who had been treated very badly in the past and was thin and glum. After feeding him Simple System feeds for 6 months he is totally different, very happy, looking stunning and better still not, a fizzy horse at all. Read more

Here is a picture of Omar and I coming into Vet Gate 2 at 60km during the Highland Fling 80km at the weekend. We completed at a comfortable 12.6kph in a course that was quite tough in places. Omar has taken to the diet you gave us like a duck to water. He has not shown any signs of tying up since. Our previous ride was a 50kms at a nice 13.51kph. Read more
