About TopSpec

The leading brand of feed balancers in the UK

An Introduction

I would like to start by thanking all the horse owners who feed TopSpec products for spreading the word about how outstandingly successful they are.  You have helped to make TopSpec the leading brand of feed balancers in the UK and we are most grateful.

TopSpec is owned by experienced equine nutritionists whose aim is to achieve excellence in every aspect of equine nutrition, from selection of the highest quality ingredients, creating innovative, excellent formulae,
manufacturing to the highest European standards and providing the most comprehensive nutritional advice to clients.

Because excellent nutrition is of prime importance to us we guarantee to ‘Create without Compromise.’ You can rest assured that none of our products will be compromised, even in difficult economic times.

Whilst TopSpec Comprehensive Feed Balancer is still the best and simplest way to feed a whole yard of horses the same product, there are possible cost-saving alternatives for horses in certain circumstances. In autumn 2011 we launched TopSpec Cool Balancer for horses in light to medium work that need to gain topline and condition without fizz.

We also updated our supplement and additives range, of which the highlights are TopSpec All-in-One. which is very attractively priced, and TopSpec Digestive Aid which will help horses that struggle with imbalances in their digestive system.

We can test, amend and improve our formulations based on research carried out at Middle Park Farm, TopSpec’s own, purpose-built, applied nutrition research facility in North Yorkshire. Naturally the formulations also incorporate findings from the latest international research carried out at universities and other associated facilities around the world. This research is integrated with traditional knowledge and the resulting formulae are expertly balanced by experienced equine nutritionists. All the horses photographed in this brochure, as in all TopSpec advertising, are fed on TopSpec and I hope you agree that they all look well.

I would like to end with another ‘thank you’ this time to those who nominated us for the British Equestrian Trade Association ‘Feed Helpline of the Year.’ This is given for ‘Excellence in Nutritional Advice and Customer Service’ and TopSpec have now won it for the last five consecutive years. I believe this is a feat unparalleled in the history of the BETA awards.

If you have any reason to seek advice about the feeding or management of your horses you can be assured of a warm welcome and very individual advice from me or one of my team of experienced equine nutritionists. Just call us on 01845-565030.
