 The photo shows Lorna Jowett and Catherine Rooney both from Baileys Horse Feeds, Gary Docking LHHI and West Sussex AC Colin Hurd.
 

On Friday 16th May we held a very informative talk from Lorna Jowett, Equine Nutritionist for Baileys Horse Feeds and a follow up by Gary Docking, our local LHHI, members and those yet to join all learned something from both speakers about the feed requirements of the show horse and how feeding can affect all aspects of the horses performance, it was interesting that Gary admitted that, since being sponsored by Baileys Horse Feeds and advice from their staff, he is now feeding less while still maintaining the standards he demands as well as those of the owners of his horses and ponies.
