Fibre forms the major part of my horses diets

30yrs ago Tina Canton received a call up for the GB young rider eventing team, sadly it turned out it wasn’t meant to be as she had a bad fall a couple of weeks before Bramham so sadly never made it onto the team.  After years of experience and a change of discipline Tina finally got that Team GB call up!

“I’ve fed Dengie Alfa-A Original to my whole yard as the foundation of their diets for over 30 years” says Tina. “From 4* international eventers and showjumpers, to newly backed 3 year olds, Alfa-A Original provides high quality fibre packed with the essential nutrients, most importantly good calcium levels, for muscle development, growth and repair. Fibre forms the major part of my horses diets – so I make it the best quality; Dengie”
