| 24th February 2009 | Lincoln JumpCross Eventer’s Challenge
£5,000 Prize Fund A NEW competition to the summer calendar – the Lincoln JumpCross Eventer’s Challenge - has been welcomed by leading event riders. Thanks to sponsorship from Lincoln, well known for their range of horse, health and leather care products, this exciting new fixture has a £5,000 prize fund on offer. From the Battles stable, the Lincoln brand remains a firm favourite with both top competition and leisure riders. Many of the major stars of the eventing world, including Ollie Townend, Jeanette Breakwell, and Mark and Tanya Kyle are set to converge on JumpCross headquarters at Grange Farm, Wittering near Peterborough on Tuesday, June 23 to take part in this innovative new event. Organisers are set to attract 50 of the top event riders from around the country to take part as well as some of the major names from the world of showjumping and spectators and members of the public are very welcome. With a £2,500 first prize riders have given their full backing to the new event which is expected to see competitors bring out both very experienced horses and those on the way up. Riders will take part in a two round competition over a course of fences ranging from 3ft 6in to 3ft 9in on cross country type terrain. Explained Jeanette Breakwell: “JumpCross is a unique sport run across country with knock down fences. Each round will be timed and penalties added for knock-downs and refusals. At the end of the course there is also a joker fence which gives you a chance to reduce your score. “Everyone is really looking forward to this new competition, JumpCross is an exciting sport and requires careful, skilled riding. With a total of £5,000 to win and a host of extra prizes it looks set to be a great day.” Added Robin Dunlop of JumpCross: “We are delighted that so many riders have shown their support for the competition. JumpCross is growing at a pace around the UK and across into Europe and beyond. “We are very grateful to have Battles, through the Lincoln brand for sponsoring the day and hope to make it a real celebration for the sport which is gaining popularity and a growing band of followers all the time.” Richard Dewey of Battles commented: “We are proud to support the inaugural JumpCross Eventer’s Challenge and look forward to hosting many of our loyal customers on what promises to be a fantastic day.”

Highly Commended BETA Innovation Award 2011
Equi-Ping allows handlers to safely tether their horse whilst at home or to a trailer/horsebox when away from the yard. Under normal circumstances the Equi-Ping keeps the horse tethered safely and only comes into play if the horse panics for some reason and pulls back sharply. Equi-Ping is designed to ‘ping’ open at this point helping to minimise potentially serious injuries if the horse continues to struggle. The unique design has been robustly tested in a professional racing yard to ensure its reliability and effectiveness. |

| 25th May 2011 | Vetericyn Testimonial from a Vet
The original wound measured 5cm x 7cm and was located between the shoulders of a 2y 4m old female cocker spaniel. This started off with what appeared to be a moist eczema at her post-op check following her spay. There was no history of trauma. The only thing we could determine as a possible cause is that it was consistent with the location of the subcut injections she recieve prior to her surgery. The affected skin died and started to lift away from the underlying tissue (1st pic). The 2nd pic was after I had cut away all the loose, dead skin. I started her on the Vetericyn VF at 6 sprays b.i.d. |

| 23rd February 2012 | LaminTec 5-HT
We have received yet another positive testimonial for LaminTec 5-HT.
The attitude of our blacksmith, and I think general in the area, is that an animal with laminitis will suffer for the rest of it's life, have good days and bad days but, in the case of a shetland, not be fit for leading rein with the grandchildren. However, six months of Lamintec (on what he saw as a hopeless case) and he said yesterday (third trim since the diagnosis) that her feet were improved. We used the pony for riding in October, and (with our better weather!) it was very busy, riding and driving, twice a day, over the Xmas holidays. Small grandchildren...nothing too speedy! |
