Testimonials

" I have found the HAYGAIN an invaluable addition to my yard, it is an ingenious, easy way to feed guarenteed dust-free hay. Dressage horses have to perform as athletes and so it is essential that their respiratory systems are able to meet the demands of the challenging sport."

-     Peter Storr, International Dressage Rider and Trainer

 

“Propress HAYGAIN has been an absolute revelation.  We feed 50+ horses on HAYGAIN-steamed hay, including our top performers Island Flyer, Nacarat, Zanir, Lord Ryeford, Kilbeggan Blade and Tartak. We had horses coughing which has now stopped completely and there have been absolutely no problems since our horses have been on the HAYGAIN-steamed hay. I can recommend it to everyone. We get improved performance from all our horses due to uninterrupted training schedules. It is a huge step forward for us and the industry.”
-     Tom George, National Hunt Trainer


“An immediate positive effect was evident in horses with irritable airways when we started using the PROPRESS HAYGAIN STEAMER, when we stopped using it, within 4 days those horses started coughing again. We are now using PROPRESS HAYGAIN's as part of our daily feeding regime. It is indispensable to us as it undoubtedly benefits our horses”
-     Hughie Morrison, Flat Trainer


"Top class forage is essential for any horse, especially race-horses whose lungs are essential for ultimate performance. However it can be very difficult to make or find good hay in the English climate. PROPRESS HAYGAIN ensures that hay, second rate or first class, does not contain any spores or dust that might limit your horses performance. I was sceptical about such equipment but, having used a PROPRESS HAYGAIN steamer, I am completely confident that the forage our horses eat will not impede their performance, but rather enhance it, which I have not been able to be sure of before."
-     Polly Gundry, Point to Point trainer and Jockey

 

"I am a keen supporter of the concept of steaming hay and have recently taken part in a field trial with the Propress HAYGAIN from which I drew very positive conclusions and was so impressed with its unique design and performance that I am now feeding only HAYGAIN steamed hay."

-     Matt Ryan, International Event rider

 

"Having had a quiet start to the season, after introducing HAYGAIN steamed hay; we have seen an up-turn in our fortunes"

-     Charlie Longsdon, National Hunt Trainer

 

"Beyond the health benefits of feeding HAYGAIN steamed hay, it was just so much easier than soaking! Instead of having to deal with dripping wet, heavy hay it was a pleasure to feed my horses warm hay that was easy to move as it still had the string on. Plus they loved it and even my fussy eaters wanted some of this!"

-      Helen Lowe, Westhill's Stud, International Dressage rider

 

"To perform at their best, my event horses need clear airways and since using a Propress Equine HAYGAIN I have seen a big improvement in them.

-      Matthew Wright, International Event Rider

 

"The Propress Equine HAYGAIN is a great idea. We have horses who are fussy eaters and these eat the steamed hay much better than dry hay. It is also a convenient and tidy way to use hay on the yard.

-      Graham Smith, D.W.C.F. ATF Master Farrier and Racehorse Trainer

Latest Testimonial

 

 

One of our latest trials has combined both veterinary and professional opinions on the HAYGAIN with John and Lucy Killingbeck.

 

" The most widespread medical condition affecting horses in the UK is their allergic response to inhaled mould and fungal spores found in hay and straw. This disease, which is often asymptomatic in the early stages, dramatically reduces the exercise tolerance and performance of competition horses. My experience with the Propress HAYGAIN steamer suggests this machine can make a significant contribution to the prevention and management of this very common disease."

 

John M. Killingbeck, BSc, BVM&S, CertEP, MRCVS.  

 

"Hay is the natural basis of every horse's diet but it is increasingly difficult to source it free of dust. The Propress HAYGAIN steamer has made it possible for me to feed hay that I know is clean and dust free. On a personal note, I have suffered from hay fever for many years and handling hay gives me the same symptoms as sitting in a hay field in the middle of summer; since I have used the HAYGAIN steamer this is no longer the case."
