Garry Hickman Haylage started in 1984 at Lodge Farm in Kineton Warwickshire. Haylage production was a natural progression from hay making, as demand, interest and confidence in haylage grew. Now twenty-four years on, Garry Hickman Haylage produces five hundred acres of the best haylage in England. The haylage is grown from new seeds and is planted in the autumn and remains down for two years, ensuring that all of the grass is clean of weeds and rubbish. Every field produced is analysed for a number of properties including protein, energy, dry matter and sugars and by doing so Garry Hickman Haylage can offer customers consistency whether they require high or low feed value.
With a national distribution network, Garry Hickman Haylage supplies to all disciplines of the equine community.

NuuMed started making numnahs around 17 years ago, so we are thoroughly tried and tested. We still design and make all our products at our factory in Somerset, England, and that enables us to provide the flexibility, accessibility, accountability and quality control levels we know our customers look for - and it means if you can't find it, we'll make it!
Along the way, NuuMed has notched up some notable firsts:
- HiWither numnahs and pads - a design unique to NuuMed and the first to follow the contours of a horse's back;
- the use of specially mixed wool knitted onto cotton yarn as opposed to a dead sheep's skin - all the wool you need with no skin attached
- the Combination design - the first pad to address the changing shape of a horse.
Today, the range has a numnah or pad to fit most saddles, which means that whatever your favourite equestrian activity - hacking, dressage, eventing, hunting, endurance, racing, western ... - there is a NuuMed numnah or pad that's right for you.
