Bonnie's Flying High
In the highly competitive world of junior show jumping, 11 year old Bonnie Townsend from Essex has been making her mark on the circuit with her 3 ponies, Kipper, Prince and Noodles. At Towerlands last month, she won with the only triple clear in the RIHS 128cm Winter 2nd Round Hickstead Qualifier on her best pony Kip Kip Hooray (Kipper) - her goal for 2008! This just adds to her previous successes coming 6th at the Pony of the Year Show, winning the Scope Qualifier and landing 8th at the Horse of the Year Show.Dedicated Bonnie has been training with Baileys’ rider Ricki Hill twice weekly and it seems all that hard work has been paying off. Like Ricki, Bonnie’s ponies are on Baileys No.9 All-Round Competition Mix with some Aqua-Aide electrolyte added. Not one to shirk her duties, she rides her ponies every night after and school and at weekends – and that’s in all weathers, come rain or shine. Not many of her friends ride but her parents are incredibly supportive – especially reminding her that she still has to do her homework every night, although she still finds time to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants and Meerkat Manor! Her ‘career’ path is well established as she already has two 138cm ponies and will be getting a 148cm pony soon.
How do you recycle yours?
Not only do we at Baileys always do our best to ensure the energy efficiency of the manufacturing and distribution of our feeds, but we are also keen recyclers of both factory and office waste. But what about our packaging? Baileys’ paper feed sacks are one of the most environmentally friendly forms of packaging as they’re made with wood from sustainable forests as well as being fully degradable and compostable. But before you chuck your sacks out, what about lengthening their life by finding them a new job? We’ve got them holding paper recycling in the office, protecting the foot wells of our cars and lining the bottom of the log basket but are sure there are many other ways we can “recycle” Baileys sacks before they finally “bite the dirt”.
In fact, we’re collecting ideas and posting them on our new recycling page (How do you recycle your sacks) so why not send in yours, with a photo to info@baileyshorsefeeds.co.uk, and the best will go on the website as well as earning a money off voucher!
