25.01.2022 Our compostable sticky tape has arrived from Hero Packaging! We will be using this to apply paper labels to our compostable mailers, one step at a time to lower the amount plastic being used.

25.01.2022 Check out the stunning coat on the Dalbrae ponies from last year thanks to Belindas Loose Lick! I can't believe what his coat looks like. There is no photo shopping there either!! And I didn't ever have a rug on him....even in the hot weather. In the past i would have had to use light rugs to protect their coats from being sun bleached. - Kathryn Mitchell, Dalbrae Welsh Mountain Ponies ... Thanks Kathryn for sharing this with us!

24.01.2022 I was looking through my photo files on my computer the other day and thought I'd share this with you all. This photo was taken in 2014, and later became the inspiration for our logo. In the back is Oakwood Park Golden Gryphon, and the front is Oakwood Park Royal Phoenix - the first two foals we had by Scolinda Macka Dreams (bred by Belinda at Scolinda Stud!). As you can see they're only just shedding their winter woolies here, but being palominos they go lovely and gold i...n summer when fed a balanced diet. When making our logo, I wanted it to be personal, not just a generic horse icon. So between this photo, and a colour scheme that feels a little palomino to me, our golden logo was born!

23.01.2022 Hi everyone! Just a quick update on our opening times over the Christmas period. As we will be spending time with friends and family (and hopefully you are too!) we will be closed on Christmas Eve to the Boxing Day Public Holiday, New Years Eve and New Years Day. On these days, we wont be responding to any calls, messages or emails, and orders wont be processed until later in the week. ... Between Christmas and New Years we will be available again, please just be patient as we do some catching up and will be enjoying the holiday period Unfortunately after New Years, I have to go in for wisdom tooth surgery so I may be a bit slow for a few days and will appreciate everyones patience. All in all, Merry Christmas to all our wonderful customers and your families. I hope Santa brings some carrots for your ponies!

23.01.2022 Hi everyone, just a quick message to let everyone know that our main courier Sendle is updating their prices from April 1, 2021. We are still offering free shipping to Adelaide Metropolitan addresses, however, shipping to other SA and WA addresses is unfortunately increasing and these will be automatically calculated on our website from April 1st 2021. If you'd like to take advantage of the current pricing before the rise, please place your orders before 5pm ACDT on Wednes...day, March 31st. The largest change is shipping for 10 and 20kg products to regional SA and WA addresses and will be $54.20, compared to the current price of $43.95. This is because Sendle's remote shipping surcharge is increasing from $13 to $22. For some customers, this may make Australia Post a more affordable option, which is also automatically calculated at checkout on our website. For more information on Sendle's new pricing, please visit https://blog.sendle.com/2021-au-pricing

21.01.2022 One good initiative to come out of the recent 7:30 report. Hopefully this is the first of many new initiatives both within racing and for the broader equestrian community to consider!

18.01.2022 What can cause Photosensitivity in horses? A common cause is coming to contact with or eating toxic plants that contain chemicals / toxins including some that a...re fungal and bacterial in origin. Excessive consumption of clover or lucerne can also be a cause. This then is affected by the UV light, causing a condition that looks like sunburn. What part of the horse will it effect? Affected areas are usually those that are lightly pigmented or that have little hair, such as the lips, white face markings or white socks. If this condition that is affecting your horse & it is from a toxin or fungal issue, they Elitox is very effective in removing a broad range of toxins from the horse. The toxins are extreamly bad this year, with all the rain following a drought period. You can feed a double dose if your horse is effected by toxins. Daily dose of elitox is 10-15g per day, a dose of BAM+ conatins around 10g per 120g dose. You can feed extra elitox as needed (30g, split over 2 feeds), if your horse is toxin effected. https://www.belindasnat.com/other-products/

16.01.2022 Belinda has written up a great article on feeding the good doer. Managing the weight of ponies is something that always takes careful balance for us each year, it’s always good to keep an eye out for what else can make it easier!

15.01.2022 What kind of horsey history can be found where you live? Elite Equine Essentials is lucky enough to be based in Oakbank, South Australia, which has been a real hub for horse activity for almost 150 years! Below is a photo of the Oakbank Racecourse in the 1950s, but the races themselves have been runnings since 1876. These days the Onkaparinga Pony Club and Riding For The Disabled SA also use the racing grounds. ... Still historical (but not quite as old!) is the Oakwood Park Indoor Arena, built in the 1960's it's the state's first indoor arena. Oakwood Park is still operating as an agistment centre and the home base of Elite Equine Essentials. Even the seats at the rear of Oakwood Park's arena are historical too - horsehair cinema seats that were removed and repurposed from the Oakbank Soldiers Memorial Hall in years gone by.

14.01.2022 So, what are some things that make Belinda's equine vitamin & mineral mixes unique? 1. Belinda's Loose Lick is weatherproof and designed to be fed free choice, great for feeding fat ponies and horses out in herds. 2. Unlike many other free-choice supplements, Belinda's Loose Lick contains appropriate levels of essential vitamins and minerals, including copper and zinc. It's also iron and molasses free! ... 3. Belinda's vitamin & mineral mixes are area-based, meaning deficiencies common in different states are taken into account when formulating the blend to better suit your horse's needs.
