                             Company formed in 2012. Cosy calf is the Registered
                             Designer and supplier of calf jackets used in the
                             agricultural industry. The product is for use from birth up
                             to around 5 weeks of age on calves. The benefits of
                             using calf jackets is to make better use of energy from
                             feed for growth rather than warmth thus making cost
                             savings of feed and bedding. The jackets allow for better
                             ventilation in calf rearing areas so as to reduce the out
                             breaks of pneumonia.

                             Trials have shown much better growth rates and
                             significantly reduced cases of pneumonia and scours in
                             calves with jackets. Targets of getting heifers into the
                             parlour by 2 years of age mean that growth rates start
                             from day one. A calf uses 2% of its energy from feed for
                             every 1 degree below 10 degrees C if it is under a
                             month old, therefore at 0 degrees C the calf uses 20%
                             of its energy from feed just to keep warm.

                             In the UK now the majority of farms use calf jackets as a
                             matter of protocol on all caves under a month old when
                             the temperature drops below 10 degrees C.
                             A great return on your investment.

                              Griffin NuuMed designs and produces top quality
                              saddlepads, numnahs and accessories at their base in
                              Somerset, England which are sold around the world.

                              Their team of highly skilled designer, cutters and
                              machinists produce a range of over 50 product lines. In
                              addition, the company has a very busy made to
                              measure section which makes bespoke products for
                              companies and individuals plus a high quality
                              embroidery facility which produces pads for a host of
                              well known companies.

                              NuuMed saddlepads and numnahs are known for their
                              design and fit which ensure they work with the horse by
                              following the contours of the back and sitting up into the
                              gullet of the saddle to ensure no pressure points – and
                              they also sit very neatly with the saddles. All the
                              products are catagorised into specific equestrian
                              activities including jumping, dressage, endurance,
                              racing, anti slip and corrective.

                              Other notable points about the NuuMed range are the
                              use of British wool – the best natural hi-tec material
                              available, the durability of the products which are all
                              machine washable and the fact that they are British
                              made.

                              The 2016 Olympics will be the third consecutive games
                              where all the GB equestrian teams will be wearing
                              NuuMed saddlepads.

                             HŪF Design was founded by Emma Lawton who saw
                             the need for a new type of feed scoop when she was
                             feeding her horse one freezing January morning and
                             she had to take her hands out of her gloves to break up
                             the frozen feed. She wished she had a feed scoop with
                             teeth.

                             The SKŪP is the first product from HŪF Design. It was
                             launched at the BETA International Trade Fair in
                             February 2015 where it won the Innovation Award for
                             Horse Care Equipment and Horse Clothing.

                             The SKŪP has been intelligently designed to resolve the
                             shortcomings in traditional feed scoops. It has very
                             clear measuring guides making consistent and accurate
                             feeding easy. Its elongated profile will reach into the
                             corners of feed bins. The integrated handle allows you
                             to hold the SKŪP comfortably. The SKŪP stands up
                             and is stackable making it easy to store. What makes
                             the SKŪP so innovative is the teeth which break up
                             sticky and compacted feed without having to use your
                             hands.

                             The SKŪP has been for sale in the UK for the last year
                             and HŪF Design would now like to give you the
                             opportunity to buy the SKŪP in your country.

                              Verm-X is a 100% natural, safe and effective formulation
                              for supporting intestinal health. Having such a powerful
                              and effective product containing only herbs for
                              supporting intestines during periods of challenge and

                              Conventional drugs cannot do all of these things. In
                              these days of over-reliance on petroleum products &
                              drug resistance it’s reassuring to know there is a product
                              one can rely on that provides cover without damaging
                              ourselves, our animals or our planet.

                              In the modern world, there is a place for drugs in
                              medicine. There has always been a place for herbs.

                              The Smart Grooming brand of equestrian grooming
                              products was established in 2006. Based in the rural
                              countryside of Devon in the South West of England, our
                              designs for grooming tools are aimed at bringing top
                              quality, humane products into the equine world.

                              They provide a kind way to thin all types of thick hair on
                              manes and tails and coats, without causing any
                              discomfort. More recently Smart Grooming has
                              launched a range of show preparation products,
                              designed to produce outstanding results for additional
                              condition, shine and polish for the show ring and for
                              general use too.

                              We also distribute other equestrian brands some of
                              which can be exported. These can all be found on our
                              website
