Bear is a different horse on his bespoke in spring

The day I bought Bear I was told never to stop using Bespoke. But human nature meant I did! I soon learned why I need it - he was unrideable without.

Bear is a beautiful cob that I bought from a lovely family. He was for me and my sister to share and was sold as a safe and fabulous cob, but he needed his bespoke to keep him settled and safe, especially during the changes of seasons.

He arrived along with his bespoke supplement that we did keep him on for a few months. Bear was proving to be all he was supposed to be and exactly as we were told. Call me quizzical or savvy with my money, I decided not to re-order his bespoke. WELL, it only took a few days for him to become very unsteady in his contact, hot to ride, and hard to stop! All in all, he scared us! We could not believe this was simply down to some powder we add to his feeds, so we pursued training and routine. Eventually, we contacted the lady we bought him from, she knew what we were struggling with and immediately asked if we had stopped feeding his own bespoke supplement, which we had. We had no idea the difference could be so dramatic. We refined and reordered his bespoke and do so every year now as he ages.

Bear, on his bespoke, is happy, allergy-free and safe and sensible to ride - if you struggle when the pollen starts look no further than this team of experts - they really were our lifesavers!
