UNBEETABLE HYDRATION

Soaked fibre mash feeds like Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash and Speedibeet are ideal feeds to help keep your horses hydrated during the summer months. As these feeds are feed wet, and additional water can be added to suit the climate or horses’ requirements they are excellent for facilitating additional water intake during hot weather or travelling.

Did you know back in 1930 the legendary PHAR LAP won on ALL FOUR DAYS of the Flemington carnival. 😮

Derby Day (Saturday)
2000m Melbourne Stakes, 5-1 on ($1.20),

Cup Day (Tuesday)
3200m Melbourne Cup, 11-8 on ($1.72), 62.5kg

Oaks Day (Thursday)
1600m Linlithgow Stakes, 7-1 on ($1.14)

Stakes Day (Saturday)

What a phenomenal achievement 👏

Final wrap!
It’s taken a week or so to begin to recover from our big international trip and also to get some fun xc photos !
From a competitive perspective I couldn’t ask any more of my horse, the demand of travel to that degree plus a 5* is unfathomable really and several times for various reasons I didn’t expect her to leave Aus, start the competition or finish the competition. That she did complete is nothing short of incredible, add in insane xc conditions.

Really the only issue we had competitively was the crowds on the final day. Both of us were unsettled by the noise and intensity of the crowd and unfortunately it showed. Throw a good bit of fatigue in and we are just happy to finish on a number and grow in big environments from here.

It’s basically taken an army to get us here, the support we have received from people across the world is heartwarming and we could definitely write a post for every person or business on this list. So instead just an enormous thank you to all and sundry for their help, advice, support and encouragement.

Super special thanks are warranted however to these 4 people who have absolutely been on the journey with us….

To my horse.
The horse of a lifetime, the toughest, bravest, most unbelievable grass eater I will ever meet. You’ve made all my dreams come true.
We have asked such an unbelievable amount of you in the last few months and it’s been really hard and you’ve trusted me and stepped up every time I’ve needed you for no gain of your own just because I asked you too.
Thank you, I owe you everything and you owe me nothing. Ever.

❤️❤️❤️

Very big week or three with a wrap to follow but right now just thrilled to have a newly minted 5* horse home safe, sound and happy.
We’ve learned lots and lots and now it’s time to rest.
