10 years of Simple System HayCare!
During its 10 years so far, it has become apparent that HayCare is so much more than a hay replacer...

Travelled Tuesday to the event, en route Royston was fed very wet SimplyComplete in 4 small amounts.
Trot up was Wednesday. Royston loves the trot up it's like he knows everyone it watching him show off. The photo above right is us ready to go to the trot up, Kirree-Ann is leading him.
Thursday 17.00hrs was our draw for the dressage, quite near the end of our class. Dressage has been our weakest part so with a score of 57 we were pleased with this, this put us into 11th position out of 25.
Friday was spent walking the 7 obstacles that we had to learn, so many different routes long and short.
Saturday was marathon day, 12.00 start time. Very hot day, really heavy deep sand in places. 15km in total. Towards the end of the XC horses where getting tired, Royston gave us everything to move us up into the top 10, 9th.
Sunday was cones day, a tricky course that was causing all sorts of problems for drivers moving them down places. We had 2 cones down and 2 time penalties, we managed to hold onto our 9th position.
We fed Royston, SimplyComplete and Top Nosh really soaked along with GreenGold, Instant Linseed and Eclipse Recovery split into 4 smaller feeds.
Our next event is going to be Sandringham International 26th to 29th June - this will be a selection event for us.
