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.

Mrs Cheryl Tuff

Since feeding Simple System Horse Feeds I have not struggled to keep Ami looking and feeling good throughout the winter, without her getting too spicy or sensitive. I now won't feed anything else!

Ami is fed Lucie Nuts, Blue Bag Grass Pellets and Build & Shine.

Ms Rachael Smith

Billy was struggling to hold weight and lacked shine in his coat, I was feeding supplements to boost his coat and skin condition. I switched to Simple System in March 2023, ever since he has been more settled, holding weight and his coat looks amazing. No supplements needed.

Miss Keana Marsh

My mare Blaze has been fed on Simple Systems for the last few years and the change in her behaviour is fantastic! She's gone from being a very opinionated mare to a calm, obedient and trustworthy one - but still with a bit of spice.

Mrs Tanya Skelding

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.
