Pulpits Farm have been loyal customers of Simple System for over 20 years.
We have been thoroughly pleased with the products & service offered to us over the years and have found Simple System Horse Feeds to be perfect for the wide range of different breeds we have here; including Arabs, Thoroughbreds, Highlands and other Native breeds (many of whom live out 24/7).

She’s been on MetaSlim for nearly two years now and the results have been fantastic. She has lost a lot of weight and I find it much easier to keep the weight off. She feels a lot more supple in her neck and across her back too. I wouldn’t change from MetaSlim now. It’s so easy to order and it arrives so quickly.

We switched Zippy onto Simple System Horse Feeds as we were struggling with persistent fat pads, rocketing insulin levels and her being stiff and footy. We took advice from the Feed Line (who are always extremely helpful!) and switched her over to MetaSlim and Sainfoin Fibre Pellets.

With both grass and hay in short supply, a lot of horse owners are looking for a suitable forage to replace hay & keep the horses ticking over until there is more grass and new hay. Here are our best hay replacers for horses.
When the weather turns cold, horses are less inclined to drink and coupled with sudden changes in management, such as more time spent stabled or eating more hay, this can increase the risk of impaction colic.Â
Laminitis is a metabolic disorder and many but not all, are overweight when they develop the condition.
