BEE KIND LEATHER PRESERVER

The Bee Kind leather preserver is the very best leather preserver I have personally ever used.

We had new leather saddles imported and treated them from the start with the Bee Kind product. Being 100% natural, it is very pleasant to use.

The bonus is that it really does prevent mildew.

The company Ecochi offer discounts on multiple orders.

David Hankin farrierDAVID HANKIN - FARRIER

David Hankin is a specialised farrier who trained extensively in the U.K. He has gradually raised the bar on the standards of farrier work in New Zealand and is passionate about his cause.

He operates a very efficient business that extends well beyond the work of shoeing and corrective work and although his enterprise is south island based, he is well informed with respect to the skills of farriers the length and breadth of the north island too. This means if you have serious problems with your horses feet, David can recommend the best person to help your horse through to recovery, regardless of your location.

David also supplies a range of highly effective hoof care products as well as educational books and charts aimed to improve the knowledge and understanding of all horse-owners. These help to remove the mystery associated with farrier work and assist horse-owners to better monitor the general condition and balance of their horse’s feet. David can be contacted via his website: www.farrier.co.nz and can be relied on to follow up all enquiries.

IFOR WILLIAMS HORSEBOX

Jane personally recommends Ifor Williams horseboxes as totally reliable vehicles for transporting horses.

Having used these horseboxes in the UK since 1980 Jane has found them to be nothing but horse-friendly and safe.

SOLAR POWER FENCE UNIT

Trials of the Red Snap'r Solar Power fencer began in 1999 with our first hot-wire subdivisions. Since then we have greatly extended our fences and have a total of four LIS 10 units located at various parts of the farm. One fence unit will power five kilometres of fence-wire. Within the four years of use, only one battery has had to be replaced, and this brand of fence unit has been more reliable than anything we have experienced anywhere else worldwide. The Artex company who distribute the product in New Zealand, have also proven to offer a very personal service.
