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.

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.
HB505
Double Horsebox
Pictured at right, this box is designed with horse safety and comfort
in mind. This model is ideal for transporting two medium horses side-by-side.
HB510
Double Horsebox
Similar in style to the HB505, the HB510 offers a more spacious alternative
for larger horses or those simply wishing to have extra room.
Longer, wider and taller, the stalls are generous and inviting to your
horse. Add to this the benefit of a wider front ramp and the total extra
space makes loading and unloading easier and safer for both horse and
owner.

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.
