PADDOCK POWER POWERING PERFORMANCE

We are a polo management company and look after over 100 polo ponies. Since it’s arrival in the market place three years ago we have been using Paddock Power for both our ponies in the polo school and the ponies that play medium goal.

Through the winter the condition of our horses’ feet, coat and general health and wellbeing has vastly improved as they have access to the PP buckets which they can dip into when they fancy. We have been using it for 4 years now.

We had no cases of rain scald or abscesses and it has completely eliminated us having to hard feed through the winter saving us both time and money.

Even after a testing winter, the ponies came in looking and feeling great. Their muscle tone and top line were in great shape and this gave us a massive head start in getting them fi t for the summer.

During the playing season we use Paddock Power Rebalance as a combined feed supplement, balancer and electrolyte, to amazing effect. So many of the niggles through the season that we usually suffer, were non-existent and again this has saved us time and money.

I am a huge fan and would urge people to try it…….you won’t be disappointed and your ponies will love you for it!
