Team Thompson & Redwood

Sophie represented Australia as a young rider, was Western Australian Young Rider of the Year and her horse, Let’s Impress, was Western Australian Horse of the Year. She has also ridden at FEI level in dressage and two of her rides have won Western Australian Dressage Horse of the Year. Sophie has ridden professionally and trained in Europe.
“My feed of choice for all my eventers is T&R’s Claytons pellets. Horses need a lot less protein, carbs, sugar and ‘fancy foods’ than you would expect, and the Claytons pellets are a great choice when looking for a feed that is low starch, high fibre, and non-grain based. Not only is it great for their digestive system, but it keeps them looking and feeling well, too! Plus, they’re locally produced by ingredients that are locally sourced, and I think spreading the love locally is really important.”
Jodi is an accomplished Polocrosse player, and is heavily involved in the sport, as well as the Australian Stock Horse community.
Jodi has played for Western Australia and Australia, and has an exciting team of horses ready for the season.
Jodi feeds Might N Power Oat Free Muesli and Horse Muesli:
“After changing the horse’s diets from basic grains to the T&R products I immediately noticed an increase in their energy levels as well as improvements in their coats, overall appearance and disposition and they never leave a scrap in the feed bin! T&R make everything simple and easy to use with plenty of information available on all products which takes out the guess work. Having a ‘complete’ feed is also very handy when I travel as I can just use the one product and not have to load the truck with various bags and containers or spend hour’s individually mixing feeds.
I can whole heartedly say the Muesli’s are a major factor in my horse’s preparation, performance and continued success. The mixes are extremely palatable, easy to use and more importantly they provide everything my horses need in order to compete at the highest level.”

Kentaur Australia Performance Horses is a performance horse stud that is part of the overall Kentaur Australia business. The performance horse stud aims to breed, produce and sell horses for national and international markets, with a primary focus in show jumping. They also offer premium horse training and sales services.
Owner and Director of Kentaur Australia, Lucy Galovicova, along with partner and top showjumping rider David Dobson and his daughter Izabelle feed Thompson and Redwood products to their competition team and stud.
“Our horses have been fed Thompson and Redwood feed for over 6 years. As a boutique performance Warmblood stud, I have sold over 20 horses in the past 4 years. Most of these have been vetted and x-rayed at purchase. Warmbloods are susceptible to various diseases that can be contributed to by incorrect feeding, and I am proud to say that, to this date, none of the horses I have sold have had issues. They all went on to become performance horses that are fit for purpose, and all were fuelled by T&R.
In particular, we feed the Claytons Pellets, Grower & Weaner Pellets (for the young horses and mares) and the Horse Muesli for our showjumping horses.”
Kate Ingham is an eventing and showjumping rider who has successfully competed throughout WA and over east at Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. Kate is actively involved in the eventing community, and has produced a number of successful horses, including her own home bred horses through to FEI .
Kate’s current competition horses are Asti Hera who competes 2* and Asti Showstopper GPH aka Lovely Leo who is a young WB that has just commenced competing at EvA95.
“My 3 go-to T&R feeds at the moment are Clayton Pellets, Horse Grower and Weaner Pellets and Lupin Fibre Cubes. I switched across to T&R feeds many years ago after having the horses on feeds manufactured interstate. Not only do the horses look a million dollars but the money I save by buying local makes a huge difference!”
Reece Jerrett is a talented, young Poultry breeder from Mardella, Western Australia. In addition to a career in Environmental Science, Reece runs the successful Echovald Poultry Stud breeding soft feather, hard feather and waterfowl breeds like Wyandottes, Leghorns and Frizzles.
Reece successfully shows his birds and is heavily involved in the poultry community. He is a qualified poultry judge both in WA and Nationally. He is the current WA Rural Ambassador and will be travelling to shows around WA and interstate throughout 2023.
“I feed T&R poultry mix and layer pellets because my birds enjoy the feed, they look good on the feed and it’s affordable/not overpriced. It’s also important to me to support a West Australian company that always tries to source the best Australian ingredients for their feed.”
Mike is heavily involved in the equestrian industry, not only as a successful competitor, but as an event organiser and through the running of his riding school and training centre. He is an official Off the Track WA Retrainer, and has recently acquired Centura Riding School which will become part of the Showgrounds community.
Mike has a great team of up and coming horses in his stable this year in addition to some talented young stock starting their equestrian journey.
“I’m proud to use the T&R Feeds and support a local Western Australian company, who are so involved in and give so much back to our sport. We have such a wide range of horses, from ponies to school horses, show hacks and our elite performance team of eventers, and T&R has products that provide them all with the nutrition they need. The Lupin Fibre Cubes in particular have made a huge difference to our riding school team.”
Chloe Gee is a talented young Eventing rider, who has already achieved some great results, including competing and placing at Melbourne International 3DE. Chloe and her Andalusian Riding Pony x Tia have gone from 45cm to 1* Eventing, 1.15 showjumping and Elementary Dressage.
Chloe also has an Off the Track Thoroughbred gelding, “Barz Open”, who she is working towards 2* on, and a young gelding ‘Wish’, who will be getting out and about more in 2023.
“My mum has always fed T&R feed and so have I. My horses performances are a credit to T&R’s feed. Tia is on T&R’s Claytons Pellets as she doesn’t need a whole lot of added energy, and they’re really great for maintaining her weight!
Barz Open is on the Horse Cubes for Seniors and started on the Lupin Fibre Cubes. I’ve never seen him looking so good. He’s retaining weight better, he’s looking more comfortable when he’s working and jumping, and I feel like I have an all round happier horse; which I think is the main goal for all of us.”
Madeleine Cooke is from Whitehill Farm in Cardup, and has been riding since she was 6 years old. Maddie has a great team of ponies that she competes in Show Horse events across the country, and consistently represents WA at a national level.
“My ponies are required to have strong top line and muscle mass while still remaining controllable for a person as small as myself.
With that information we use a mixed balanced feed ration of Thompson and Redwood Claytons Pellets and Thompson
and Redwood Pony Maintenance Pellets. I feel its important and I’m proud to support a Western Australian company that I trust the quality of feed they use.”
Caris & Britt Reside
Caris and Britt Reside are successful show horse riders and trainers and run Leeara Park, a boutique stud in the Swan Valley.
This team of sisters have competed successfully all across Western Australia as well as at a National level, breeding, training and riding a team of horses and ponies. Not only have they won or placed in almost every show horse competition throughout the country (including Champion National Large Hack of the Year at the National Championships), but they are dedicated to their horses’ health and happiness.
“Here at Leeara Park, our horses have always come first – their health, their diet and their care has and always will be second to none. We have a firm belief that our horse’s health and care is more important than any ribbon or garland.
We ensure that any horse in our care is fed the very best products; that being T&R! We have some amazing examples of “before” and “after” shots of horses showing the substantial positive change in condition when being fed T&R products.”
Doddy is a passionate horsewoman, who has made the transition from riding to driving. Doddy not only competes in driving events, but puts in behind the scenes for clubs and inspires people to give driving a go.
Doddy competes in Carriage Driving Combined Driving Events. With her pair of horses, she’s working towards competing at the National CDE on the east coast.
“I feed T&R Claytons Pellets and Lupin Fibre Cubes. It just keeps them in a very nice condition without putting extra unwanted weight gain and it does not heat him up. Gives them shiny coats, easy to find at my stock feeder, good price, and the ponies love to eat them!”
Bella is from Lake Clifton, and competes in polocrosse, rodeo events and junior barrels. Bella has been making huge improvements in all of her disciplines and had some great results and faster times already this year.
