Happy Horse Hay Steamers Supports the BEF World Class Equestrian Programme

Happy Horse Products has helped countless horses to better respiratory health over the last decade, with their original and affordable range of Happy Horse Hay Steamers. Their in-depth understanding of the fundamental importance of a clean and clear respiratory system for the long term success and performance of competition horses has led to this British company coming on board as a Supporter of World Class Equestrian with the British Equestrian Federation.

When it comes to performance, few controllables can make as dramatic an impact upon a horse's performance than the quality of the forage fed and Aspergillus (one of the most common mould spores found in hay) is one of the main causes of RAO, EIPH, immune suppression and poor performance in competition horses. With good quality hay increasingly difficult to come by and even seemingly good quality hay containing many thousands of mould spores per gram, riders in the know are turning to steaming their hay to help reduce the threat to their horse's respiratory system posed by such allergens.

By supporting riders on the World Class Equestrian Programme, through offering discounts on its range of Happy Horse Hay Steamers, they hope to provide essential support to some of Britain's top competition horses by keeping them in the best shape to win medals at the highest international level.

The UK Sport/Exchequer funded Equestrian World Class Programme supports a pathway to success for eventing, show jumping, dressage and para-equestrian dressage athletes. The aim is to have in place a sustainable system that can deliver more medals on the international stage now and in the future.

The Equestrian World Class Programme incorporates the three Olympic sports of dressage, eventing, show jumping and the Paralympic sport of para-equestrian dressage.

The Programme works closely with the three British Equestrian Federation Olympic Member Bodies; British Dressage, British Eventing and British Showjumping, whose own training and competition programmes work hand in hand with the programmes run within World Class.
