Bought as a four year old for my daughter, this little lady has been the best ever. Lots of consistent wins with school shows, then onto unaffiliated shows and then affiliated. She has been on a Simple System diet for most of her life. This pic was taken last summer and she will be 31 years old next month. This winter I felt she needed a bit of extra goodness so put her on TopGain . Really helped to keep her weight on through this awful winter. Retired now, but not before she taught my grandchildren a few basics.

I've owned Remy for 11yrs years and have always fed him Simple System Horse Feeds. We've successfully worked our way up through the levels from Prelim to Medium and have just started competing at Advanced Medium.
He has always been barefoot & has received many compliments over the years for his good feet & shiny coat - all thanks to Simple Systems feeds & balancers.

I have been following Simple System's recommended diet for the month Phoebus has been here, and wow! Look at him already! He has a shine and is excited for his feeds.
