Congratulations to Ashleigh Hill Dressage who won the Novice Hickstead Regional on her first homebred mare, six-year-old Floriek. A fantastic achievement and a fabulous write up in Horse & Hound. Ashleigh also took 5th place at the Regionals on her mare, Ruby. Ashleigh Hill runs a livery yard and stud in Kent, and all of her horses are on Simple System. Ashleigh credits the feed and noticed a dramatic change in rideability, temperament and performance after she started feeding the horses Simple System.
In the wild, with unrestricted access to pasture, horses would spend the summer “stocking up†by eating nutritious grass - and plenty of it - to aid them in building a thick coat and laying down excess weight...
Horses’ teeth change throughout their lives - they are continually growing and continually wearing, as they chew and grind their grazing and forage.
Grass has the potential to grow all year, which is different from many other plants. Certain things are necessary for this growth, but if they are not met, the grass will be dormant, waiting for conditions to improve.Â
