How you can help

Here are our top tips to help you reduce, reuse and recycle not just at home, but around the yard too:

• Supplement tubs can be used as handy containers to store your essential items in, from your stud or plaiting kit to hoof picks, sponges or sprays.
• When filled with water or stones, supplement tubs are a good way to weigh down hay being soaked! You could also use them as markers in your arena to help you ride a perfect circle or serpentine, as well as Caveletti stands or for mounted games including stepping stones and bending!
• Our feed bags make colourful showjump fillers and are sure to prepare your horse for the unexpected at your next competition.
• All the feed bags make excellent rubbish bins on the yard, or bagging up muck for compost!
• The supplement tubs are ideal for putting your tea room essentials in as they waterproof and when you’ve used your tea bags you can collect them in a supplement tub before adding them to your muck or compost heap.
• At home, the plastic bags are extremely handy for those that have time to do any gardening as they can be used for anything from kneeling on to keep your knees clean and dry to putting your compost material in.
• Fancy trying your hand at growing your own veg? Empty supplements tubs can be re-used as plant and vegetable pots!
• Our feed bags are ideal for carrying large quantities of hay down to your horse’s fields or storing your rugs in to keep away the spiders, or when packaging up to be washed.
• We have seen customers come up with many other uses for our empty feed bags too, such as waterproof coats (for dogs too), shopping bags, sledges and even sack races at Pony Club camps!
