It’s nearly that time of the year, where we all like to dig into some tasty treats on Christmas Day. But what about our equine friends? Here are some yummy treats that you can give your horses this Christmas.
Vyrnwy Christmas Trees is based in Meifod and sell Nordmann non-needle drop trees, it is run by Tom and Cath Pritchard. They have three young children, Alfie, Neive and Madi who love to get involved and help in their own way, it is very much a family effort at Vyrnwy Christmas Trees.
The business started in 2012, following a random idea from Cath, and after a lot of research and meetings they agreed to try 1,200 Nordmann fir seedlings as a starting point.
GrainLink Ltd the grain trading arm of Wynnstay Group PLC was born following the acquisition of Wrekin Grain and the merging of its then in-house grain division Shropshire Grain in 2011.
The strategic merging of these businesses raised the grain trading profile of Wynnstay Group and has resulted in significant growth in volumes traded both regionally and nationally.
Operating from trading hubs in the West and Eastern regions of the UK the trading teams along with support staff in forwarding (Haulage) and administrative departments provide farmer suppliers with an extensive route to the UK markets. Along with the confidence that grain transactions will be managed efficiently and professionally from point of sale, collection and delivery to end use and in the knowledge that trade is being done with a financially secure business.

Having moved to Ruthin from Dorset with her mother and their two ponies some 16 years ago, Jess has since developed a life-long love of ponies, as well as dogs and cats.
That love of animals led her to study animal care and management at Llysfasi College, while at the same time helping her Mum and Stepdad produce and show Welsh section A and B ponies. This remains an important part of her life and encouraged her to pursue her career in the animal health industry.
We speak to David Jones to find out more about what a day in the life of a Wynnstay Dairy Specialist looks like. We discover some of the highlights of his role and discuss the challenges faced in this ever evolving industry.
