As we've settled into the festive season, it’s time to look back and reflect on the year we’ve had at Simple System.

One of the most common problems in training horses and riders is the lack of connection.

In just 12 short months MalleMash has become the staple diet for so many horses - from itchy types, to natives, cobs and feathered breeds - it's become a firm favourite.
