The horses at Team Fredericks are
enjoying fresh, clean and nutritious feed from the revolutionary Fodder Solutions feeding system as they prepare for a busy season. Clayton and Lucinda have been using the feed on some of their top performers for several months, and have seen great changes since switching them onto the fodder. They are excited at the prospect of having the whole yard on a fresh fodder diet.
“I am very impressed with the way the horses are on the Fodder Solutions feed, particularly in their temperament. They are working really well, and they are galloping with plenty of energy but without all the fight at the beginning”, says Clayton.
Clayton first saw the Fodder Solutions system in Australia, and with sales of over 1100 systems worldwide, it is the leader in fodder production systems. Now manufactured here in the UK, the users of the system are reporting great improvements in their horses since switching them onto a fresh fodder diet.
“I wanted something that was cost effective and Fodder Solutions seemed to make a lot of sense. Initially it was the cost benefit that attracted me, and even if it was not for the top horses I felt that it still made sense as the basis for feeding the yard”, says Clayton.
The Oldenburger Breeding Society have a fantastic opportunity for those who are interested in learning more about the breed. The experience includes five nights in a luxurious hotel, getting to know the super star stallion Sandro Hit, bus trips to visit breeders, stallion owners, foal shows. There will exclusive lectures and practical training with renowned breeding experts and much much more.
The cost is 700Euro
Registration deadline is 15th April 2012.
