Congratulations to Charlene Goudkuil who has had a fantastic 2019 polo season. Read a write up of Charlene and her ponies' season below:
Following a successful 2018 and my debut for the Netherlands Ladies Team in Italy 2018, 2019 exceeded all expectations and has been another great year. I played both mixed and ladies polo in the UK and finished the season with 3 super ponies. Dorado (bright bay with small white star), Picosa (dark bay mare with white face) and a new addition 5yo Ricardito (palomino). Small and Fernet both moved on to two great new homes. In all the ponies have been on amazing form this season and continue to be fuelled by Simple System Horse Feeds for energy and stamina the natural way. A winning combination. My two favourite wins from the season have been:
BSG Trophy at Silver Leys Polo Club
Team Continuum
John Cooper
Jessica Hawes
Ed Banner-Eve
Charlene Goudkuil
La Rosada Cup WIP at Kirtlington Park Polo Club
Team Somerset

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
