Horse Of The Week - Benjji.

Benjji, no longer needs weave bars on his stable door.[/caption] Abergwaun Amendment (Benjji) is a fourteen-year-old Sports Horse. This gelding has been owned by Lyn Byatt since September of 2013, and he stands at 16.1hh. Lyn very much enjoys owning Benjji, schooling and hacking out with him, she also hopes to start competing with him this year. Lyn now describes Benjji as a very happy and contented horse.

After buying him, Lyn soon realised that Benjji was a very anxious horse and extremely stressed. Lyn says: “I could do very little with him. He had to have anti weave bars on his stable door, and riding was incredibly stressful. I was unable to tie him up on the yard and the slightest little thing or noise would send him into a complete panic. Frustratingly Benjji is extremely capable but was held back by his anxiety”. Lyn has taken time to bond with Benjji and allows him plenty of time to settle without any pressure.

Once I began feeding the supplement he seemed to calm within a very short period of time. I now only feed him a maintenance dose. Benjji is no longer anxious, the weave bars have been removed from his stable door, and he is a very happy horse. I am sure that this is due to the Steady-Up Advance, I would highly recommend this product”. A FREE 2kg tub of Steady-Up Advance is on its way to Benjji for being our Horse Of The Week!
