Heygates Country Feeds Ltd

20/05/2024

A fantastic evening on Thursday night for our annual Feeds vs Farm sports match, all in support of Cynthia Spencer Hospice.

We have raised a fantastic £777.80, which will be used to support people with life limiting illnesses and their families. It’s a charity close to many at Heygates, so we’re very proud to support them.

🏑 Feeds vs Farm hockey was a great fast game, with farm taking the win at 5-3. We’ll have you next year Farm team!!

🥎 Rounders offered a more laid back match, and with mixed teams of both farm and feeds, it made it difficult to chose which side won!

Our raffle was excellently supported by our suppliers and local businesses. Many thanks to:

Bonkers about Balancers?🐴

Balancers have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to supply quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals, without dramatically increasing calorie intake. This makes them well suited to horses that are good doers, overweight or prone to laminitis.

Equally, our Equi balancer an be used as a supplement for active horses or poor doers, fitting in alongside their current feed to provide necessary vitamins and minerals. We've included biotin for hoof and coat condition, and linseed to boost immunity and reduce inflammations.

We also offer the Heygates Stud Balancer, designed for the differing nutritional requirements of mares, foals, and stallions.
