 Official Supplier to the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Horse Weigh Equine Scales - Referalls

·        Yogi Breisner - The British Eventing National Coach and World Class Performance Manager

o       12 September 2005 - "Thank you very much for allowing us to use your Curragh horse weighing machine during The European 3 Day Event Championships at Blenheim recently.  It was a great help to have the machine there, and I hope some more business will be generated for you because of it."

·        Will Connell - Performance Director and British Equestrian Team Leader

o       September 2008 - "Everyone admired your weighbridges in Hong Kong…I very much hope that the British Equestrian Team can continue to rely on your support in the future, and I look forward to working with you."

o       October 2004 - "The weighbridge was a vital piece of equipment and was used daily throughout the Olympics and Paralympics.  It was the envy of many nations"

§         British Equestrian Team Leader - Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008

·        William Fox-Pitt - Champion European 3 Day Event Rider

o       August 2001 - "We have used the William Bedell Mobile Horse Weigh Platform for several years now and have found it to be most useful.  It is particularly helpful to be able to compare a horse's pre Three Day Event weight at peak fitness to his weight at the same stage before his previous Three Day event.  On a more practical level no other weigh Platform could be as 'use friendly'. We have never had a problem in persuading a horse to stand on it quietly.

§          William Fox-Pitt -  Winner - Burghley Horse Trials, 2008, and again in 2005.  Horse Weigh user since 1999.

·        J.C. McEwan - BVMS MRCVS Team Vet - GB Olympic Team (Sydney Olympics) Re: Monitoring and travel of British team horses

o        "All the team horses have undergone extensive monitoring in preparation for the long (36 hour) flight to Sydney.  This includes weight monitoring using the William Bedell Mobile Horse Weigh Supreme Platform, also a combination of blood tests, and clinical examinations using endoscoping, scanning, and soundness assessments.  The horses all travelled well to Sydney and have just complete their on-site quarantine at Horsley Park, the venue for all equestrian events.  The careful health and weight monitoring has continued during their quarantine in Australia to make sure that they are at their peak of fitness when they compete."

·        Derrinstown Stud, Ireland

o       June 2005 - "At Derrinstown Stud we are delighted to have two HORSE WEIGH scales. They are safe, easy to use and completely portable, which is a huge advantage."

§         Jimmy Lenehan, Manager

 

·         Liphook Equine Hospital - Forest Mere, Liphook, Hants

o       November 2005 - "As one of the UK's largest and busiest Equine Hospitals, we rely on a myriad of different tools and equipment to provide the best medical care possible to outpatients. Crucial to this care is our ability to weigh horses accurately in order to determine the milligram the dose of drug they may require.  We also monitor our patients' weight throughout their stay and finally when they leave, ensuring that they haven't gained or lost too much weight during their time at the hospital.  This means that our weigh bridge is used on average 300 to 400 times per month…..I would feel very confident in recommending this company to anyone in need of a weighing machine." 

§         Elizabeth Rabinowitz - The LEH Yard General Manager

·        Johnny Peter-Hoblyn - Stud Manager Shadwell Estate Co. Ltd, UK

o        October 2003 - "Weighing is an essential part of Shadwell's monitoring techniques.  Aberrant weights enables us to pick up potential problems before they are apparent to the naked eye, and before they become more serious.  Weight loss can be the sign of the onset of viral problems, but just as important to us is controlling weight gain.  If a foal picks up more than 1.5kg a day, the extra burden on its young joints can lead to development problems.  Having quality tools at our disposal, such as the weighing machines that we have here, is crucial to the stud's success."

§         Shadwell Estate Co. Ltd, UK & Dubai (and Derrinstown Stud, Ireland) have 16 Horse Weigh units in operation.

·        The President's Stables - Abu Dhabi & also Al Aryam Arabians, Abu Dhabi

o       November 2005 - "In our Stables we constantly monitor the weight of our Endurance horses, mares, and foals and Horse Weigh makes the task so easy.  The equipment is accurate and sturdy and the service from…Horse Weigh, excellent!"

§         Dr. R Andrew Dalglish, Senior Veterinarian, Al Wathba Endurance Stables & Stud, H.H. The President's Stables, Abu Dhabi, UAE

·        Polly Stockton - International 3-Day Eventer

o       October 2008 - " By weighing our horses, we are making sure that a more accurate assessment of their condition can be made during their training regime.  On returning home from events, we also use the weigher to acquire optimal running weights and subsequent recovery rates.  My mother was unsure of the necessity to weigh at the outset; now she is completely converted!"

§         Burghley Horse Trials, 2006, 2nd Burghley Horse Trials, 2002, Member of the GB & NI WEG Team, 2002, Jerez Spain.
