BRAND NEW! Eezhay Corner Manger!

We used to stock Hay Bar corner mangers but had dreadful problems with delivery times so looked for an alternative product. We discovered Eezhay at BETA in February this year and have just taken our first delivery. To say we are thrilled with this product would be an understatement! They are VERY robust, being made from the same material you find on many building sites, Eezhay is produced using quality products and is moulded in a way that produces a clean product with no sharp edges reducing risk to you and your horse.

Available in SIX different colours: red, black, blue, pink, purple and green and also a Premier Eezhay made from rust proof galvanised steel, and the most robust and durable hayfeeder available world wide.

We stock both types of Eezhay mangers and if you only have a small car or can't collect from us for any reason we can supply both types of Eezhay direct to your door CARRIAGE FREE!

AND.........not only are they MADE IN BRITAIN....

they are a great price too! Just £64.00 (Premier Eezhay £71.00)

Looking For British Made Products? We have lots!

In a fiercly competitive market with many financial factors changing for manufacturers, it is a difficult job for retailers like ourselves to maintain good prices for our customers without skimping on quality.

Throughout the last 2 years we have been constantly looking for British manufactured products, and guess what? there are still plenty out there! Yippee!

In our shop you will find many different products and brands all made in Britain - great quality as you would expect from British manufacturers and the surprising thing is the cost is also great! This year especially, the British manufacturers have been able to make up some ground on their competitors manufacturing in the far East and Europe because they have been able to keep their costs on an even keel. Almost all of the imported goods offered on sale to us as retailers are increasing in cost on a constant basis, a true retailer's nightmare!

So, apart from the cost, we are very excited to be one of the local business actively promoting British made products! Some of the British brands we stock are:

Harris Tweed, Hunter Outdoor Clothing, Sole Provider, Griffin Nuumed, Gumleaf, E Jeffries, Thorowgood, Gorringe, Rodney Powell, Equitector, Global Herbs, Botanica (Ireland), Legacy, Outhwaites, Gelert Pet Foods, Eazhay to name a few!

Christmas Stable 13th 14th December 2008

A big thank you to everyone that came along for this weekend and either helped out or supported Lluest Horse & Pony Trust by way of donations or re-homing. The weather immediately beforehand was atrocious and the driveway was washed away by torrential rain! Thank you to all the men and boys who spent the best part of Saturday wheelbarrowing loads of stone uphill to fill in the holes and ruts in the drive! We couldn't have managed it without all our volunteers.

Millie the Poitou donkey belongs to the managers of Lluest and was our start guest for Saturday, she is enormous and stands at 14hh, and in true donkey stubborn style she refused to load on the lorry to go home and needed a bit of persuation plus 5 people to give her a shove! She is lovely though and seemed to revel in all the attention! Most people had never heard of let alone seen a Poitou donley before and were amazed at the size of her. Here she is modelling a magnotheraphy rug on the day.

Despite the bad weather beforehand, the weekend was dry and mostly sunny but pretty cold throughout! A special thank you to Amey for dressing up Digit in his 'Alternative Rudolph' costume and for trotting him round for people to have their photograph taken with him. Digit was a complete star all weekend, considering he is just a baby at 18 months old and has never been on his own before he was a dream pony to have here.

Digit was joined by Jonny and between them they received a lot of attention, here they are tasting the tinsel!

We now have a 12ft Christmas tree to rehome, so if anyone would like it, please get in touch. You can give a donation to Lluest and take it away!

This was our first event here, and hopefully the start of many more to come in 2009.

Thank you again to everyone who supported our Christmas Stable, have a Happy Christmas and a great New Year!
