The benefits of feeding Benchmark Perfect Mash
Benchmark Feed is a fairly new horse feed company to enter the market. They’ve only been around for a few short years, but this brand and their products’ popularity have skyrocketed since their introduction to the market.

So, what’s so innovative about Benchmark’s feeds? Benchmark feeds have been designed to provide a balanced equine diet with high levels of essential nutrients without relying on grains and grain bi-products. By utilising the...
Itchy horse? Our top protection picks!
Is your horse beginning to itch? Itch season is among us and sadly for horse owners who have an itchy horse this means waging a relentless war on biting insects, specifically midges, that irritate their horse and can cause extreme discomfort. Itch, scientifically known as Equine Culicoides Hypersensitivity, is a medical condition caused by an allergic response to the bites and saliva of Culicoides (midges) and itch most often occurs in horses living in warmer humid climates, such as the Mid Coast, where we all reside. Itch is usually a seasonal problem, with symptoms typically occurring during the hot and wet months between October and April....

Meet our Brand Ambassadors: Eva Sutton
Background/bio: Having grown up in Sydney until 2021, I really only got in to riding when I visited my Nan and Pop’s house in North Western NSW. Once we moved to the Mid-North Coast we moved our horses over and haven’t stopped riding ever since! What discipline do you ride/compete in? I’ve been competing in team penning and ranch sorting. I also love to ride all around Pampoolah and Kiwarrak State Forest. What horse/horses are you currently competing on? My horses’ names are Matilda and Lenny.
