British Horse Feeds, is the equine feed division of I’Anson Bros Limited and is based in Masham, North Yorkshire.
I'Anson Brothers Ltd is one of the United Kingdom's leading manufacturers of premier animal feedstuffs. The company has been serving farmers in Yorkshire and the North of England since 1900 from the small market town of Masham, at the foot of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales.
Now one of the UK's most successful specialist suppliers of farm feeds, micronized ingredients and horse feeds, with customers in over 30 countries worldwide, I'Anson Brothers Ltd is an independent, fourth generation, family-owned and family-managed company, still based in Masham.
British Horse Feeds is best known for its flagship product ‘Speedi-Beet’ which, thanks to the unique patented process has revolutionized the feeding of beet pulp. Speedi-Beet has improved nutrient availability and soaks in just 10 minutes, compared to 24 hours for sugar beet pellets. It’s a great way to add quality fibre to your horse’s diet for slow release energy.

The first major change came when the motor vehicle redefined the horse as a sports and recreational animal instead of a primary means of transportation. Kerckhaert was first to respond to this change by extending its range of products to suit the needs of the sports enthusiast. Today, with more than 1500 different styles in the Kerckhaert product range, and with new horseshoes being continuously introduced, Kerckhaert remains the leader in the field.

Life Data Labs, Inc. does not Outsource the Manufacturing Process.
Life Data Labs, Inc. maintains high standards in the design and manufacture of its products. Life Data Labs does not outsource production, standing firm to the principle that supplements manufactured within the company’s facility allows superior quality control. Proper design of the manufacturing facility can prevent cross contamination of ingredients, and result in a higher quality product. A supplement in which the manufacturing is outsourced has a greater risk of contamination, and is of particular concern in feed mills that process feeds containing animal derived ingredients or cattle feeds. Cattle feeds often contain chemicals toxic to horses.

Hoofjack
Equine Innovations Inc., was founded in 2000 by president/owner Kevin Keeler as a means to promote his invention the Hoofjack®. Developed out of a desire to make his career as a professional farrier easier and safer, Kevin invented a unique hoof support system which he named Hoofjack®.
One year into Kevin's career as a farrier while working on the hind foot of a horse, the horse collapsed. Kevin's right knee was damaged to the point of having to remove the cartilage in that knee. As the years passed, Kevin worked on an idea of creating a hoof support system that would support the horse while working on the hind foot.
Then, in 1997 while being flown into the Idaho backcountry to shoe horses at a ranch, the airplane crashed. After 5 hours of hiking out in waist deep snow, Kevin and 2 other people were rescued and taken to a hospital where it was determined that Kevin was suffering from a bruised heart, broken ribs, and many strained muscles.
During recovery, Kevin redesigned the cradle portion of the stand to make it possible to support the front foot of the horse, as well as the hind. This enabled him to return to work earlier than would have been possible as it was no longer necessary to place the hoof between his knees and bear the weight of the horse.
As Kevin was soon to realize, not only had he invented a safer and easier way to do his work, but the horses loved the stable, comfortable support as well. Fussy horses settled down, and babies stood still. Truly a win-win situation. It didn't take long before his clients began to ask for a Hoofjack®. Wanting to help horse and human alike, Kevin decided to offer the Hoofjack® to the market.
Five and one-half years after being offered on the market, Hoofjack® came to Kevin's aid once again. The knee that had been damaged all those years before, now had to be replaced. Less than eight weeks after surgery, Kevin was comfortably back at work trimming and shoeing horses. By using the Hoofjack®, he did not have to place the hoof between his knees and therefore had no strain on his newly replaced knee.
After 30 years as a professional farrier, Kevin has retired by choice, not necessity. Most farriers are forced out of their career as their bodies wear out from the strain and demands of the job. Kevin believes that the development of the Hoofjack® added at least 10 more years to his career that he otherwise would not have had.
Hoofjack® is a product for anyone involved in hoofcare. Whether it is the horse owner, trimmer, farrier, or veterinarian, there is a safer, easier way to support the horse's hoof.
Equine Innovations Inc. is committed to producing a quality product that is made in the USA. Quality customer service is provided by a knowledgeable staff, all of which use the Hoofjack®. We invite you to join us in our quest for making both the horse and human more comfortable and safe with hoofcare.

Fiber Fresh
Fiber Fresh specialises in advanced fibre-based feeds that are palatable, safe, healthy and highly effective in satisfying the energy and nutrient demands of animals.
Fiber Fresh is a highly innovative, customer focussed, progressive family-owned multi-national company that has been supplying high quality forage feeds for many years.The company was established in 1985 by owners Michael and Mary Ellen Bell whose family has now been involved in agricultural production for almost 40 years. Having been instrumental in pioneering research and development into steam extraction of lucerne leaf protein concentrate (LPC), Michael recognised the extraordinary characteristics of the lucerne plant and its value as a forage feed. Familiar too with nutrient wastage resulting from the conventional drying processes involved in making hay and chaff, Michael dedicated the company to developing a process to harvest and preserve moist, fresh lucerne. Over time, further techniques to preserve and store the end-product for maximum retention of its original nutritional value led to the development of our unique, proprietary process: Controlled Fermentation™. This process has enabled Fiber Fresh to produce a high energy, moist lucerne forage feed that has since been trialled and registered as HNF® (High Nutritional Fiber).
Fiber Fresh places great importance on research and maintains an extensive Research and Product Development programme co-funded together with the New Zealand Government agency, Callaghan Innovation.
The company currently employs around 50 staff and exports from its New Zealand manufacturing base to a growing number of countries, including the USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Korea and Japan. A wholly-owned subsidiary was established in Hokkaido, Japan in 2011.
