 Testimonials“Before I was introduced to HAYGAIN, I was soaking hay for Brentina to make sure that it was more palatable and dust free. After her colic surgery, we were encouraged to do so. I also was aware that it was taking all of the important nutrients out but did not know what else to do. Then I found HAYGAIN and not just Brentina but every horse in our barn is so happy. Now after our horses are fed the only sound you hear are the horses chewing. I no longer hear sneezing or coughing due to dust or mold spores. Once you have fed HAYGAIN you will never go back. Not to mention how wonderful it smells while it is steaming!” -Debbie McDonald, 2-Time Dressage Olympian of Hailey, Idaho "Allergy horses have shown success with reduced clinical signs and decreased medical management from previous years and the only change in their treatment plan has been a HAYGAIN unit." - Dr. Chad S. Davis, Equine Medical Services of Northern Virginia “I first became interested in the HAYGAIN Hay Steamer for Destination Known, a top level horse that I have with allergy and breathing issues. Although I was thrilled with the results that I have seen in this horse, it didn't take long for me to realize how well all the horses in my barn do on the steamed hay. I have struggled with maintaining weight and appetite during the competition season on my other top level partner, Arthur. Arthur has blossomed on his steamed hay. A horse that is generally very picky, now dives into his hay. The well being of all my equine athletes is paramount. The delicate balance between keeping the competitive edge on my horses and ensuring their long-term stability is a big concern of mine. By using the HAYGAIN Hay Steamer I have confidence that my horses are getting the cleanest forage possible ensuring their respiratory health and the hay's nutritional value.” - Allison Springer, International Event Rider and Founder of Professional Riders’ Organization of Upperville, Virginia “I use the HAYGAIN system here at the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute on most of my respiratory cases including steaming the bedding before we place it in the stall. So far for respiratory cases, I think HAYGAIN is a no brainer and can definitely help reduce the amount of inhaled allergens and particulate matter.” - Dr. Nathan Slovis, Hagyard Equine Medical Institute of Lexington, Kentucky "In 2009, my top advanced horse, Manoir De Carneville, pulled up from a 9 minute cross country round with large amounts of blood coming from his nose. I was shocked and spent the next few weeks scoping, taking blood samples and ultimately doing allergy tests. It turns out my horse was suffering from severe allergies to hay. He was having problems breathing and under high stress at the FEI level the severity of his allergy became apparent. I was soon introduced to the HAYGAIN and it has become one of my favorite products. ‘Tate’ (Manoir De Carneville) has persevered through his allergies and was named to the 2010 High Performance List thanks to HAYGAIN. The HAYGAIN keeps my horses healthy and happy giving them the competitive edge they need to succeed.” - Sinead Halpin, International Event Rider, Trainer and Board of Director for the Professional Riders’ Organization “HAYGAIN…it is a “win-win” for you and your horse. The hay you feed your horse is the single most important thing you can do to keep your horse healthy and at his competitive best. In the past, I would wet then soak my hay so my horses would not get dehydrated digesting their hay. With the HAYGAIN system, it steams the hay, eliminating the mold spores and dust that could give horses allergic reactions and colic. Congratulations HAYGAIN; you have solved a never ending battle. Thank you!” -Debbie Stephens, International Show Jumping World Record Holder of Palmetto, Florida
"I am extremely impressed with our HAYGAIN system and the difference it makes in our barn. It is compact, clean, and easy to use. I have noticed significant improvements in hay consumption from our picky eaters and I love the elimination of dust and spores from their diet. Prior to using the HAYGAIN system there were two horses in my barn that coughed on a consistent basis. Since we have started using HAYGAIN, both cases have been eliminated. I highly recommend the HAYGAIN system to anyone who wants the most out of their team. I feel it is important to feed clean, safe hay and HAYGAIN insures that we do this." - Diana Burnett, International Event Rider and 2008 Canadian Olympic Team Alternate of Ontario, Canada "My CCI**** horse, Merloch, is an extreme athlete with some pretty extreme ideas about what he does and does not like to eat. During his "down" times he's a pretty easy keeper who cleans up most of his hay and empties his dinner bucket. He is very social and his biggest requirement is that his bucket is placed so that he can look into the aisle while he eats. However, he has been competing very intensely for the last several years and every time his fitness regimen begins to ramp up his appetite decreases. In fact, he often stops eating altogether and we really struggle to get him the nutrition that he needs to keep up his energy. If he doesn't eat, he can't train properly and risks injury so we have always put a great deal of time and energy into devising ways to improve his appetite. We started using our HAYGAIN system this past summer, just as preparations for Merloch's CCI*** at Fair Hill International began to increase. And amazingly... he has been cleaning up his hay like a kid at a candy bowl. He actually nickers with anticipation every time he sees us walking down the aisle with his steamed hay! I have never seen him in such good form and I am convinced it is entirely thanks to his HAYGAIN steamed hay." - Bonnie Mosser, International 3 Day Event Rider, Trainer and Clinician of Gordonsville, Virginia “I have 15 horses that I feed steamed hay to daily. The HAYGAIN system has become an easy addition to my barn routine. I love HAYGAIN because the horses love it and eat every bit of their hay. Steamed HAYGAIN hay is clearly nutritionally superior to any other forage I could possibly offer them. My horses work so hard for me, so it only makes good sense for me to eliminate their exposure to harmful allergens through the use of the HAYGAIN system.” - Rebecca Howard, International Event Rider and Equestrian Manager for The FORK Stables in Norwood, NC "We have noticed a remarkable improvement in our horses' wellbeing as far as coughing is concerned since we started using our HAYGAIN." - Bettina and Andrew Hoy, International Event Riders "Being on the road as much as competition horses are, I expose my partners to a lot of stress and increased opportunities for infection. Travelling with HAYGAIN steamed hay is one easy way to prevent trouble. Killing spores means my hay is healthier and adding moisture helps keep my horses' systems in prime shape, especially in the trailer when they don't have to breathe in dust and allergens. HAYGAIN gives me piece of mind when I travel and compete, as well as at home." - Lauren Sprieser, Sprieser Sporthorse Owner and International Dressage Competitor, Marshall, VA “I just wanted to let you know that my barn has been exclusively using the HAYGAIN unit for some time now and the horses are so healthy! Even the pickiest of eaters clean their plates. Charly looks better than ever, and I think that the HAYGAIN has helped his respiratory fitness tremendously!!! I can't thank HAYGAIN enough for all that you have done for me and my horses.” -Molly Rosin, 3-Day Eventer, Trainer and Barn Manager, Kirkwood, PA - Peter Storr, International Dressage Rider and Trainer “HAYGAIN has been an absolute revelation. We feed 50+ horses on HAYGAIN-steamed hay, including our top performers Island Flyer, Nacarat, Zanir, Lord Ryeford, Kilbeggan Blade and Tartak. We had horses coughing which has now stopped completely and there have been absolutely no problems since our horses have been on the HAYGAIN-steamed hay. I can recommend it to everyone. We get improved performance from all our horses due to uninterrupted training schedules. It is a huge step forward for us and the industry.”
"I am a keen supporter of the concept of steaming hay and have recently taken part in a field trial with the HAYGAIN from which I drew very positive conclusions and was so impressed with its unique design and performance that I am now feeding only HAYGAIN steamed hay." - Matt Ryan, International Event rider "Having had a quiet start to the season, after introducing HAYGAIN steamed hay; we have seen an up-turn in our fortunes." - Charlie Longsdon, National Hunt Trainer "Beyond the health benefits of feeding HAYGAIN steamed hay, it was just so much easier than soaking! Instead of having to deal with dripping wet, heavy hay it was a pleasure to feed my horses warm hay that was easy to move as it still had the string on. Plus they loved it and even my fussy eaters wanted some of this!" - Helen Lowe, Westhill's Stud, International Dressage Rider "To perform at their best, my event horses need clear airways and since using a HAYGAIN I have seen a big improvement in them. - Matthew Wright, International Event Rider "The HAYGAIN is a great idea. We have horses who are fussy eaters and these eat the steamed hay much better than dry hay. It is also a convenient and tidy way to use hay on the yard. - Graham Smith, D.W.C.F. ATF Master Farrier and Racehorse Trainer "All horses traveling with us are fed HAYGAIN-steamed hay to reduce the risk of respiratory problems and feed contamination." - Southern Cross Horse Transport of Sydney, Australia "We are very pleased with the improvement of my daughter’s Welsh pony, Belle, since we began using our HAYGAIN system. The COPD symptoms have decreased 80% and the pony’s endurance has improved. We have finally found the answer to managing COPD. Thanks to HAYGAIN the pair is back competing, and we are all smiles!" - Gayle Heiring of Mundelein, Illinois
