Our Slow Feed Hay Nets were designed and developed over 6 years ago as I recognized there was a need to supply the horse industry and my trimming clients with high quality slow feed hay nets (aka GutzBusta® was born). It deeply saddened me to see horses and ponies locked up in small areas with nothing to eat!! Developing these nets helped fix that problem and gave owners many more options for managing their horses. I knew that depriving a horse of constant fibre was very unhealthy and increased the risk of colic, stomach ulcers, boredom and stress. Horses are naturally meant to be grazing 18 to 20 hours per day, so using a slow feed hay net in managing your horse or pony enables these issues to be no longer a problem.
Having metabolic horses myself, I can truly say how wonderful these nets are in maintaining their weight, health and wellbeing by allowing them to always have access to something to eat, but not being able to gobble it down in 5 minutes.
I have invested significant time, money and energy in educating myself on horses and their care. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Equine Studies) in 1999 from Charles Sturt University, I then completed a TAFE Cert III (Equine Hoof Care) in 2008. Still seeking further knowledge, I then enrolled in the Diploma of Equine Podiotherapy course in Yarck in which I have completed and passed my final exam, but yet to complete the case studies.
I have also attended 5 whole horse dissections with Sharon May Davis (assisting with 2), a Photonic Red-Light therapy course, and a Holistic Horse Works Equine Therapy Course as well as 3 Hoof Conferences around Australia. Therefore, developing a superior product for the Equine and Livestock industries is very important to me as I understand the needs of the industry.
Due to the success of GutzBusta® Hay Nets, the business is now being run by and myself, my husband and with the help of our casual staff. As this is a home-based business, it is perfect as we get to see our little girl grow up.
Supplying a quality hay net to our customers is our number one priority. That is why our hay nets are the most generous sized and user friendly hay nets on the Australian market.
‘Don’t waste your hay, order a GutzBusta today!’
We take our business very seriously and aim to provide a professional website and buying experience for our valued customers. That is why both GutzBusta® and ThrushEze® are registered trademarks.
ThrushEze® was developed while I was trimming as it just didnt make sense to be putting a wet product like apple cider vinegar or tea tree oil and water on an already wet foot when treating thrush, so the concept of ThrushEze® Hoof Powder was also born.
We are now expanding into more hoof products for your convenience. Our online shop will be continually updated with new products, so please check back regularly. We aim to send purchases as quickly as possible despite living out of town as we feel this is very important to our customers
