Feedmark
The supplement company has announced a new partnership with Wellington Riding.
The deal means Feedmark becomes the centre’s only equine supplement probider.

Feedmark’s managing director Chris Townsend added: “There’s something for everyone at Wellington and we’re looking forward to providing advice and support to help riders with the individual nutritional needs of their horses and the activities they undertake with them in 2018.”

“As everyone knows I love talking about our sport and trying to get new people interested in it,” said Bryony.
“Horses and racing have been the biggest part of my life since I was tiny and I know that the future of racing is just as important to Jockey Club Racecourses as it is to me and my family.
“That’s why I’m delighted to be working with them and I can’t wait to get started.”
