Young Drivers Travel to Hungary
Britain’s Young Drivers are out in Vecsés in Hungary this week (24 – 29 August 2010), to contest the Junior World Trophy. 16 young drivers and their ponies have travelled out - 10 of them representing England and 6 representing Wales – to compete in a driving trials competition against other youngsters from around the world.
Earlier in August, as part of their final preparations, the group attended their Summer Camp at Ashfields Carriage Driving & Polo Centre, just a few miles down the road from Baileys, near Great Dunmow in Essex. During the camp, they did manage to squeeze in a visit to Baileys, when they were able to witness feed being made and packed in the high tech mill.
The drivers also had a talk from Baileys Nutritionist, Emma Short, to make sure they were up to speed on what and how they would be feeding their ponies whilst travelling and competing. Baileys arranged for all the necessary feed and haylage to be delivered to Hungary ahead of them so they’d have all they need when they get there.
Keep up with their progress on the Young Drivers Blog as well as on their Facebook Page!
NEW Performance Balancer
Baileys’ new Performance Balancer is designed to help riders ensure their horses can always benefit from the optimum nutrition provided by a fully balanced diet. It supplies a complete range of essential nutrients, carefully balanced to support performance, good health and well-being and thereby helps address, and ultimately avoid, common nutrition-related problems, without the need for expensive supplementation.The high specification formula includes essential amino acids plus Alltech’s Bioplex® chelated minerals and Sel-Plex® organic selenium, which have increased bioavailibility. To support performance, there are also a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, including those with antioxidant properties, along with Digest Plus prebiotic and Yea-Sacc®1026 to promote gut health.
The beauty of new Performance Balancer is that it allows riders to feed their horse a fully balanced diet, whatever its workload and energy intake. Those who require no hard feed can be fed Performance Balancer to provide all the essential nutrients they need, alongside forage, whilst those on straights, like oats, reduced amounts of hard feed or lower energy feeds, can also have nutrients topped up to optimum levels.
International event rider, Sharon Hunt, says, “I find Performance Balancer really useful as I can feed non-heating, high fibre Working Horse & Pony Cubes to the sharper horses but adding the balancer means I can be confident their diets will still meet the increased demands of a hard working event horse.”
Baileys Performance Balancer is competitively priced at £26.99 for 20kg and is part of Baileys’ ongoing Cashback Bonanza promotion which means that the £2 on bag tokens can be collected for cash back. For information visit our Performance Balancer page.
