Pregnant Horses and Ponies
Did you know that in the last few months of pregnancy and early lactation you mare's protein needs double?
If your pregnant mares are not fed enough protein, with all the key amino acids, foal development is stunted, resulting in small weak foals. Milk production decreases and is of poor quality, again affecting the growing foal's progress. Mares deficient in amino acids also have lower conception rates. The Hanley Formula provides breeders with a concentrated blend of essential amino acids to top up and improve the protein quality of a normal feed ration, ideal for the last three months of pregnancy and during lactation.

Testimonials
I have been using The Hanley Formula on my broodmares for the last 2 years, and it has worked wonders. Particularly on a mare that wouldn't put weight on. Her condition is now superb and along with quality feed The Hanley Formula is the perfect partner. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.
This is very much a congratulations email as we love your product! We have our whole farm on The Hanley Formula (from weanlings to broodmares).
I have recommended to around a dozen people to try your formula as it is cost effective and it has super results.
Shard Farm has been using The Hanley Formula for the past nine months and in this time we have prepared yearlings for the Standardbred Sales in Christchurch. This year we have found the yearlings to have gained and maintained weight easily. They all had fine summer coats and that were rich in colour, despite poor weather during preparation. Our yearlings recuperated from travel quicker than previous years. A feature of this formula is its palatability; we have experienced problems in the past with protein pellets and horses refusing to eat them. I would recommend this formula to anyone who wants a complete protein mix. We have started the weanlings on it and they have not dropped weight, they seemed to recover from the stress of weaning quicker than previously.
