With so many equine supplements available to chose from, $$ cost matters! … and so does a products performance! Do those things go together though? Well … yes they can but dose rate and potency is SO important when calculating cost!

MEGA BUILD - dose rate 25 - 75gm. depending on effect required.
25gm is slower building effect perfect for maintenance and healing, 50gm is effective fast muscle building, 75gm is for sick, or incredibly hard working horses.

Let’s average that out to 50gm and this product has a comprehensive ingredient list and a very high level of active. Cost is around $110 for 1.8kg so that’s a high potency product for 36 days.

Other products on the market might be cheaper to purchase but have dose rates as high as 160gm or even higher! That’s over 3 times the dose rate of Mega and ends up costing 3 times more.

Potency and dose rate matter!

THE ORIGINAL Mega Build!

The market leading conditioning amino acid supplement.
Why? Because its not just amino acids …

MEGA BUILD WORKS 4 WAYS WITH RAPID RESULTS!

AMINO ACIDS
NUCLEOTIDES
ORGANIC CHROMIUM
PRO-BIOTICS

WHAT IS MEGA BUILD?

MEGA BUILD builds muscle and aids healing fast.

MEGA BUILD is a market leading supplement that supports the development of muscle, recovery from exertion and injury and helps promote gastric health.

MEGA BUILD CONTAINS ~

~ A full profile of concentrated amino acids for enhanced protein digestion and muscle development and repair.
~ Nucleotides to enhance cell repair, gut health and recover from injuries.
~ Probiotic for optimum digestion.
~ Organic chromium for enhanced muscle building effect.
Many people use an amino acid concentrate to help improve feed and protein quality and fuel for developing muscle and strength, however we have taken that a step further. A REALLY big step!
Adding nucleotides and other functional nutrients to the mix adds another dimension to how the product works.
Nucleotides are organic molecules that are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They also have functions related to cell signaling, metabolism, and enzyme reactions. They improve cell transfer and nutrient absorbtion and help improve digestion. Healing is accelerated.
Organic chromium supports the development of muscle and sugar metabolism, and an added probiotic improves hind gut performance and digestion, and stablises bacterial balance helping to prevent laminitis and other issues caused by bacterial die off in the hind gut.

THE RESULT?
Better health and feed utilisation.
Improved gut performance.
Faster more stable healing from all aspects. Better recovery afer exertion.
Improved top line or lean muscle depending on the workload and breed of the horse. Better coats and hoof quality… and the added bonus?
Your horses temperament WON’T change, it’s a low volume dose AND they love it! They love it so much you can use it to tempt fussy eaters.

BENEFITS

*Boosts hard working horses & build lean muscle. Hold condition better in hard work.
*Builds topline on show and dressage horses working "round."
*MEGA BUILD improves the protein quality of the diet without over feeding protein.
*Ideal for rescue horses and those that are protein deficient.
*Recouperation from illness.
*Faster and better healing of tendon/ligament/skin injury. Any injury will benefit.
*Promotes maximum uptake of nutrients.
*Promotes a healthy gastric system.
*Will not alter temperament.
*No withhold

ADDITONAL INFORMATION

1 ~ Its not the quantity of protein that is important, but the quality. In fact, excessive protein has been shown to have a detrimental effect on horse health. The quality of protein is determined by the range of amino acids contained in the protein, and horses need all available amino acids to utilise protein fully. Equine diets are commonly deficient in 1
or more amino acids. Working, recovering, growing and weak horses have higher protein requirements, but excess protein can be a problem. MEGA BUILD works to fill in the amino acid "gaps" to make sure the protein your horse gets is high quality and utilised fully without the problems associated with over feeding protein. This way you get maximum results with feeding less.

2 ~ Nucleotides are star performers in this formula! Research shows they significantly promote gut health, nutrient absorbtion, and cell repair. Valuable for horses recovering from injury or illness they also help your horse get maximum benefit from his feed and nutrients fed. They improve the quality of the gut wall making your horse more resilient to gastric issues.

3 ~ High levels of live culture yeast Yea Sacc is a valuable addition to the formula. It improves digestion and the beneficial bacterial flora in the gut, promoting healthy and efficicent digestion.

4 ~ MEGA BUILD has high levels of safe, non toxic organic chromium. Chromium has long been used for its muscle building effect.

MEGA BUILD effectively promotes muscle development, condition, gastric health and recovery 4 ways!

MUD FEVER AND CELLULITIS GONE! Typically a horse will resolve its mud fever in the first month of feeding Compete. This is incredible effect is due simply to the superior nutrition that quickly boosts health and immune response. Compete also helps horses recover from Cellulitis effectively. Feed a 1.5 x daily dose as soon as leg swelling. Cellulitis tends to respond faster, typically within days. if there is no response please call your vet. Compete is not a drug or cure. It simply helps the horse help itself and supplies the nutrients needed to do that.

WHAT IS COMPETE?

Compete is total system support for hard working horses, or even horses that need a bit more condition, strength, or help from recovering from illness.
Compete offers everything your horse needs on a daily basis for optimum health and it is unnecessary to feed any other mineral or probiotic supplements.
Compete is 100% organic and helps condition and produce a high shine that makes it a favorite amongst showing competitors!

Feeding Compete can help protect your horse from laminitis, mud fever, rain scald, photo sensitivity, warts, sarcoid, some forms of colic, cellulitis and other issues from a nutritional angle. It can help prolong your horses competitive life.

Great value! Compete contains 7 organic supplements for not much more than what you might be paying for organic magnesium on its own!

Customers routinely tell us when feeding Compete, Mega Build or Breed & Grow that their feed bill typically halves, and over time, even more. The reason for this is that the horse's digestion becomes more and more efficient, and with optimum health, they are able to get more out of the feed you put in.
Other benefits are darker, finer coats, and horses tend to lose their winter coats earlier. Some horses when receiving Compete for the first time during mid winter will shed their coats almost straight away. Skin and hoof quality is improved and horses shine even in winter.

COMPETE CONTAINS ~

1 Trace minerals all in organic proteinate form.

2 Organic magnesium proteinate supplement

3 Organic Selenium Supplement

4 Pro Biotic for optimum digestion

5 Immune Boost

6 Bio Chrome for muscle building

7 Hooves and Coat Support - High Shine

Today we officially finished our breeding season, and what a remarkable one it has been! Thank you to all the mare and stallion owners who entrusted us with their breeding goals. Now we all eagerly await the arrival of the new foals later this year - we wish all your mares a safe and healthy pregnancy. We also are grateful to the wonderful stallion owners, both interstate and here in SA, who often went above and beyond to get the all important “shipments” here on time.

With the last of the mare scans completed today we can hopefully give our Repro vet, Dr Toby Ryan, a well earned break (although the 2023 season will be upon us before we know it!). Thank you Dr Toby for being available to share your skills and knowledge to achieve what we have this season.

Some of our mares and foals enjoying their fresh bale of lucerne hay. We may not be lucky enough to have lush green pasture at this time of year, but we certainly make sure they all eat well!

What a year 2022 has been!

We would like to take a moment to say a huge “Thank you” to our wonderful clients who have trusted us to care for their horses. Many of you have become our friends, and your continuing support of us & our business is what keeps us going. We have been so lucky to share with you some amazing achievements & highlights. We have also been there with some of you through tragic disappointment and loss.

We cannot begin to express our gratitude for the incredible service we receive from our vets, our farriers, as well as our hay & feed suppliers. To all our friends and family members who have rolled up their sleeves to help us through the year we say “Thank you!”

We are looking forward to an exciting year in 2023, with lots of continuing development and diversification of the services we can offer. Wishing you all a happy and safe New Year!

Yearling prep is well underway for the thoroughbred boys - Adelaide Magic Millions will be here before we know it.

Lots of walking, then some walking, followed by a bit more walking, high quality feed, and a great farrier. Growing these c**ts physically and mentally at a steady controlled pace is so important. Regardless of whether they go to sales or stay on the farm, a good weanling prep - backed up by a solid yearling prep - gives them the confidence to be good equine citizens, wherever their futures take them. 🐎 🏆 🐎

03/12/2022

Alway nice to have some help around the farm. Hanging out with my fan club tidying trees in the paddocks.

“Have I got a brother or a sister in there, Doc?”

Happy Birthday to dear Lilly, who is currently residing in our maternity ward. She celebrated her day with a bunch of edible blooms. 

Hopefully she doesn’t have too long to wait for the extra special gift of her foal!

Breeding season wouldn’t happen without our wonderful veterinarian, Dr Toby Ryan. We are eternally grateful for his advice and assistance, and he’s been kept busy scanning mares for us and our clients.

It is so important to regularly check the progress of a mare’s reproductive cycle when breeding - regardless of whether using live/fresh, chilled or frozen semen. Monitoring behavioural changes (teasing) as well as regular ultrasound scans to track not only the follicular development, but also the changing state of the uterus and cervix, gives a more accurate prediction of ovulation. This means we can time insemination to give the best chance of a pregnancy occurring.

As our first AI for this season, it was very rewarding to see a positive 14 day pregnancy scan for this mare today. Dr Toby also placed a caslick to help reduce the risk of pregnancy complications from faecal contamination (the conformation of this mare’s v***a predisposes her to these issues).

25/10/2022

Our two hardest working employees have decided a supervisory role is more to their liking these days. Self-promotion from vermin control to upper management, keeping a close eye on everyone else.

11/10/2022

Breeding season is definitely in full swing!

These sunshine days are certainly helping to get the mares cycling better, and the c**ts and stallions have all woken up to the fact that it is spring.

On behalf of Emma Mudford, we are currently standing her registered Paint stallion “Mudford Park Soarin’ Eagle” at stud for a limited time (fresh/chilled AI only, no live cover). This stallion has been such a pleasure to have on the farm. He came to us for some refresher training for semen collection, and his manners and attitude have been impeccable. His calm temperament and trainability has passed on to all his foals. His studbook is currently still open to mares, so contact Emma for a breeding contract. AI services on site available, and shipping of chilled semen can be arranged.

Sir Prancealot x Flinders Beauty 2022 Filly

Very impressed by this young lady’s elegance and natural athletic ability.

12/09/2022

It’s certainly proving to be one of the busiest times of the year - we’ve been welcoming some new arrivals into the world. It’s always so pleasing when all the mares are doing well leading up to and after foaling, and the foals are all passing their important milestones in the first few days of life.

They all grow and change so quickly! Amazing to see them developing their individual personalities 🥰🐴

31/07/2022

Happy Birthday to all equines, big & small!! 🥳🐴

(& now all the pregnant mares are allowed to start foaling 😉)

07/07/2022

Foaling season is nearly upon us!
The first of our own pregnant mares moved up to their foaling paddocks this week. These special ladies only have a few more weeks to go. It’s always an exciting time of year!

01/07/2022

Huge day for our wonderful farrier today - he did an amazing job getting through the long to-do list. So nice for the farrier when the weanlings all behaved for their trims. We made sure they all had a thorough weanling prep as part of their education to prepare them for days like this!

01/07/2022

Farrier day is always a big day!
Goodnight!

21/06/2022

It’s hard work being this cute!
🥰🐴

The fresh straw bed was certainly enjoyed by our TB weanling, Russ. He has grown into a big strong boy already! This week he left his mum to come into the barn for a some handling and education. He will then get to grow out in the paddock with the other c**ts his age.

Russ & Uki are our last 2 weanlings for the year, and we’re already getting ready for the new crop of foals arriving in a couple of months!

🖤Copied🖤

My 3k horses stand in with my 40k horses.

I’ve had a five hundred dollar horse earn me 100k.

I’ve watched a 35k horse become a five hundred dollar horse with 1 X-ray.

I owned a mare who earned 107k , who I bought for 700.

Horses don’t know what you paid , they don’t know what they’ve won.
But they know how you treat them.

There’s not a single horse on our place that’s treated any differently then the others. You can’t put a price tag on a soul.

Today as I walked my pastures. I pet the noses of winners who’s owners failed them. I pet the noses of horses who could have been winners had they been given the chance.

Today I kissed the noses of baby’s who one day can become winners, if their owners bring them to their full potential.

Horses know no dollar value.
They do know if you love and believe in them.
Feed them & they shall feed you.

~RePost🐴 🦄

Keeping up the feed to help keep the growing boys warm in this cold weather! Full tummies and thick winter coats mean these yearlings c**ts are growing out into big strong boys!

Training horses starts with training ourselves.

We were so pleased to be able to attend today’s seminar, organised by Thorough Care SA (the welfare branch of RacingSA). It’s so important to always be open to learning and developing ourselves so that we can improve our training “toolbox”.

In an industry that is often criticised for poor horse welfare standards, it is important to acknowledge those trainers and breeders who put their horses’ welfare needs at the forefront. It is through open education and the sharing of knowledge that positive changes can be made for the betterment of the industry, and for those who take on horses after their racing careers are finished.

25/05/2022

Weaning time is here!

Those cute little foals don’t stay babies for long 🥲. Time for them to get some education in how to be good equine citizens - these skill will hopefully set them up for life, wherever it takes them. Today we worked on having feet cleaned & wearing a rug for the first time. So nice to have safe facilities to make this time as stress free as possible for both the foals and mares.

Warning - wound images!!

Horses always seem to find dramatic ways to injure themselves, even when they’re wrapped in the proverbial bubble wrap!

We may be considered strange, but long term wound care and rehabilitation is one of our most rewarding endeavours. With our extensive combined experience in the area of wound management, and in collaboration with our veterinarians, we have had great success in supporting the healing of some very ugly looking wounds. Both these horses shown will be returning to full work soon, albeit with a scar or two, but with fully sound & functional limbs.

We are happy to assist you with regular bandage changes and wound care at our facility. Agistment with box rest for wound healing and medication is also available - contact us to discuss your horse’s needs 🐴 🩹

13/05/2022

Spa day for one of our agisted race spellers - Chuck certainly seemed to smile as he appreciated the nice warm water wash bay 🧼 🐴 🫧 🚿

🥰 Huge thank you to young Ella for all her efforts in helping to keep this place running smoothly!

02/05/2022

✨🐴 When your spellers just glow! 🐴✨
No brush, no shampoo, just a natural heathy shine - even with the winter woolies taking over 😉

This young thoroughbred c**t has been staying with us to mature before starting his racing career shortly. At the moment he spends his days in the paddock, eating and playing with other c**ts his age and just enjoying life! We will definitely watch this boy’s career with interest, and I’m sure he’ll be back for his holidays.

23/04/2022

This gelding definitely recommends staying indoors once the sun sets…… he heard there’s Night-mares out there in the dark!! 🙈🤣

22/04/2022

Today we say farewell to this little champ, who has been staying with us since having surgery for Overriding dorsal spinous processes (ORDSP) - commonly referred to as “kissing spine”. Buddy has been an absolute trooper through the two weeks of box rest, multiple daily medications & strict twice daily hand walking.
He has become a favourite in our stables, and we wish him and his dedicated owner well on their continued journey back to his full recovery!

15/04/2022

Big day at Whim Park today, with not one but two lawn areas laid. 400m2 of turf installed - giving us beautiful lawns for hand grazing and for those all important veterinary procedures (look out all you c**ts, castration day coming up!!). Big thank you to all involved in making this happen!

01/04/2022

Do you need to schedule a veterinary appointment for your horse but are struggling to find the time to be available for the appointment during business hours? Do you need somewhere with a crush? Or an indoor space with both power and water where your veterinarian can work safely on your horse?

Here at Whim Park we are pleased to offer temporary day/overnight agistment and horse handling services for veterinary and farrier appointments. We regularly have our experienced equine vets and farriers visiting the farm, so can schedule your horse in on one of these day if needed. We are happy to liaise and work with your choice of veterinarian, farrier or other service providers too, and schedule your horse’s treatment at a time that suits them.

Our purpose built barn means that your horse can keep their appointment whatever the weather! Drop them off just for the day or even leave them overnight if required. Longer term stays can also be arranged for horses requiring multiple appointments or receiving ongoing treatment.

Contact us to discuss how we can meet your needs.

23/03/2022

Short or longer term agistment available for spelling, growing young stock, and for horses recovering from injury. Veterinary care, farrier and complimentary therapies available - we can either work with your choice of provider or arrange bookings as required. Indoor boxes, yards & paddock facilities.

Welcome to the first day of training young man!
After arriving on farm a week ago, the “wild-child” (Rothesay x Cryptic Lady) was fitted with his first halter today. He was not a big fan of the idea, but patience and quiet perseverance won out.

07/03/2022

Nigel is a TB yearling who has had to be box-rested for several weeks while undergoing regular wound treatments. He finally graduated to a larger outdoor yard today. It’s so rewarding to see him so relaxed and happy to be outside again!

02/03/2022

Today we welcomed some new additions to our own breeding herd. It will be exciting to see how these c**ts grow out!

“Pillsbury Lane” (High Chaparral x Stravinsky) with c**t foal by “Rothesay”

“Cryptic Lady” (Dane Shadow x Lady Katina) with c**t foal by “Rothesay”

Huge thank you to Tyson at Valley Horse Transport for delivering these beauties with such care - they arrived very relaxed after a long journey across from Qld.

28/02/2022

Knowing what to expect when your mare is expecting is so important. Foaling season is still a while off yet - it will sneak up on us before we know it!

We all eagerly await the arrival of that special foal, but it’s important to remember that things don’t always go smoothly. Knowing when and how to intervene can make all the difference.

If you are looking for options to foal down your mare, please contact us to discuss how we can help.

Learn about the stages of labor and the normal post-foaling chain of events so you can react quickly if issues arise.
