...the all thrive on Africa's Finest Horsefeeds.

We may be Africa's Finest Horsefeeds but our effects are far reaching and some of our best ambassadors travel the world to conquer and excel abroad, and many do return for a taste of the good stuff back on home soil.

One of these travellers is Sue Cullen's warmblood stallion, Wenzel R, who is due home in December after his time in quarantine. Sue is adamant that Wenzel will eat nothing but Vuma and we would have to agree that apart from being a magnificent horse he does have great taste. Wenzel will be continuing his dressage career here in South Africa, after a year competing in Europe.

Among our racing champions whose foundations were built on Vuma are Desert Links, Paris Perfect and Imbongi, all whom started life at Summerhill Stud and all who went on to fly the South African flag high in Dubai. While we may tell you that nutrition is key to the foundation of a successful racing career, it is the stats that will tell you that graduates of the Summerhill pastures are hardy and run more often for more stakes. This key differentiator is what has kept Summerhill at the head of the pack on the breeder's log for the past 6 consecutive seasons.

Currently still in the UK is Paul Hart's, Heartbreak Hill, who was prepared in South Africa for his International campaign on Vuma Vitality and who we look forward to feeding again on his return sometime next year. Paul tells us that since the horses had to return from the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, via the UK, they are planning on competing at Badminton which falls over the Easter weekend in 2011.

Vuma Champion, JJ The Jet Plane won both the Golden Horse Casino Sprint and the Mercury Sprint earlier this year and is currently in quarantine near Newmarket, in the UK before he jets off to Hong Kong, where he will run in the in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint on December 12th. In his case he is taking his supply of Vuma Feed with him to ensure a seamless move across the globe and to ensure his best chance of success.

Wherever in the world they may go, our Vuma Champions have one thing in common; they all thrive on Africa's Finest Horsefeeds.

Dominique's launchpad to the World Equestrian Games, Kentucky 2010

At Vuma, we revel in the successes of our customers and their horses and take personal pride in all of their achievements.

Thus it was with great delight that we learnt of Dominique Tardin’s long-listing for the World Equestrian Games for Dressage.

Her horses Don de Niro and Wenzel R are currently in quarantine in Cape Town, preparing to leave for Europe. We had to ensure that they had enough Vuma stock to send with them for the early part of their stay and will make special arrangements to ensure that they have enough feed for the duration of their quarantine.

Dom has a Grand Prix horse, called Vienna in Europe which she will be riding there, in preparation for the WEG. She competed on Vienna at the Swiss Champs at the end of June where she received excellent marks from the international and Olympic judges and was placed seventh overall.

She will also be competing on Don de Niro, as her back-up horse and Wenzel R at the lower levels.

Watch this space, as we keep you up to date on their progress towards WEG and Olympics 2012.

We are so proud to be part of your achievements!
