HORSE PEOPLE

Not everyone gets it. Not everyone knows the magic of a horse, nuzzling your palm on a cold, dewy morning. Or the reasons why weekends, early mornings or the middle of the night are the times when horses come first. But horse people get it.

Having a horse is not just a lifestyle. It’s a whole life. Horse people know that it is about more than just care, or even love. It’s a passion. And horses always come first.

We are horse people too. Supporting your passion is our passion. That’s why we don’t just make feed. We support young riders, local communities and Aussie farmers.

We are Barastoc, horses come first.

We’re a 100% Australian, family-owned and operated business, built on humble beginnings in regional Victoria.

PETstock was born in 2002, 11 years after the Young family took ownership of Ballarat Produce in 1991. Brothers David and Shane built the business on family values and a passion for pets; the ingredients of the PETstock DNA.

PETstock people are industry experts. We know because we’ve found them specifically and continue to train them to be their best. We understand that you’re not shopping for your dog, cat, bird, fish or lizard…you’re shopping for your best buddy, your family member.

We’re proud to provide our customers with good old fashioned customer service. The kind you just don’t seem to get as often these days. When you visit PETstock, you know you’re not just going to get the best quality pet care products, services and advice; you’re going to be treated as part of the family, and that’s our PETstock promise.

Our promise to you – HYGAIN, THE HIGHEST STANDARD IN HORSE FOOD AND NUTRITION.

“The measure of success varies for all of us, but regardless of how you define success whether it’s achieving a ribbon at the pony club, a great ride out on the trail together with your beloved horse, or a win at the Melbourne Cup race, we all share one common goal, to care for our horse, provide the very best for them and keep them sound and healthy.” – HYGAIN

That philosophy has long guided Hygain the leading equine feed and supplement company that is devoted to bringing their customer closer to their dream by blending years of experience, innovation, up-to-date research and enthusiasm to nurture the best qualities in horses. As an equine only feed mill and manufacturing facility Hygain is dedicated to equines and their special requirements, resulting in outstanding nutritional solutions that really make a difference to your horse’s health, performance and well being.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN.

Hy Gain Feeds Pty Ltd started as a one man operation in 1983. As a horse owner and competitor dissatisfied with the quality and nutritional standards of feeds available, Greg Manley decided to take things into his own hands and started developing and mixing nutritionally balanced feed formulas to feed his own horses and others in the local area. Through word of mouth demand for the product rapidly grew and soon outstripped the capacity of the one man operation resulting in the establishment of a dedicated equine feed mill and manufacturing facility in the heart of the Victorian equine industry, south east of Melbourne. Looking confidently to the future with well-established foundations and a great team sharing a common goal, Hygain is progressively extending its global market share, continually evolving its products based on solid nutritional research applied to equine diets and the demands of an ever-changing world.

THE HIGHEST STANDARD

Our extensive high Performance, Equestrian, Stud and Supplement product range is backed by Hygain Feeds commitment to excellence encompassing all equine activities. A commitment to an uncompromising insistence on only using the finest certified ingredients, applying the strictest quality controls and employing the latest nutritional research resulting in groundbreaking innovations, so as to provide our customers with the highest possible standards in equine nutrition, standards which our customers have come to expect from Hygain.

HOW WE ENSURE THE HIGHEST STANDARD

Our modern state of the art manufacturing facilities utilize revolutionar processes to enhance the nutritional value of our products, improving palatability, increasing feed efficiency and conversion whilst reducing the incidences of dietary related equine disorders. All aspects of our manufacturing processes are quality controlled and certified under HACCP and FEEDSAFE quality assurance programs. At Hygain we pride ourselves on being innovative and progressive in the commitment of reducing our impact on the environment. Our senior management fully support and are committed to our Australian Packaging Covenant Action Plan.

Hygain products incorporate the latest in equine nutrition and unique ingredients such as bio available organic minerals, a live yeast culture for improved fibre, phosphorus and calcium digestibility and a patented form of Mannan Oligosaccarides derived from the outer cell wall of a selected strain of yeast supporting a healthy immune system and promoting gastrointestinal health and performance. Hygain Feeds only use additives which are scientifically proven to deliver major benefits to the equine’s nutritional performance and that complement our fully fortified and precisely balanced feeds.

 

“At Hygain, success is not only measured by sales. More importantly, it brings the company’s customer closer to their dream and creates exceptional ‘customer satisfaction’ that gives us the greatest reward.”
– Greg Manley, Managing Director

RACING VICTORIA

Since launching the Off The Track program in 2012, Racing Victoria has enjoyed a strong relationship with Equestrian Victoria, its members and broader community.

As a major partner, the Off The Track program is proud to have sponsored over 700 equestrian events in which the collective number of appearances by retired racehorses tops 15,000. 

The Off The Track program has also welcomed a thriving community of close 50,000 thoroughbred enthusiasts across its social media channels. 

ACKNOWLEDGED RETRAINERS

Supported by over 50 RV Acknowledged Retrainers, the Off The Track program is an important pathway for thoroughbreds transitioning from the racetrack to a second career. 

Through this network of Retrainers, the Off The Track’s partnership with Equestrian Victoria provides an important opportunity to drive demand for the breed and showcase its versatility. 

It is one of a number of initiatives that underpin Racing Victoria’s post-racing framework to support every horse leaving the sport. 

A $25 MILLION COMMITMENT

In October 2019, Racing Victoria committed $25 million to accelerated and expanded the industry’s three-year equine welfare action plan. This will directly fund the delivery of a statewide re-homing program; post-racing career options; a statewide foster program; an advanced tracking system; an expanded equine welfare taskforce; humane euthanasia; and responsible breeding. 

Over the next 12-months you will notice a number of these programs roll out, including an expanded Off The Track program as we amplify our support for each thoroughbreds journey to a second career. 

We look forward to continuing our relationship with the equestrian family and thank Equestrian Victoria for their ongoing support.
