Horse Weigh Client, Evan Williams, purchases Supreme Plus on 4th November 2006, wins the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup on 25th November 2006

Mid Glamorgan trainer, Evan Williams, landed his biggest prize to date, by training State of Play to win The 2006 Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup; ridden by Paul Moloney, this was a powerful piece of running by a horse that was having his first run of the season. Evan Williams had only just taken delivery of a Supreme Plus three weeks previously for their Cowbridge yard, when he, his wife and enthusiastic team, were all very keen to get into "the weighing mode" to help further their ambitions of becoming "the next Martin Pipe!"

Finally for export orders, all platforms may now be dispatched ready for immediate use.

HORSE WEIGH WEB SITE
Received a 9/10 appraisal by the Dressage Magazine July Issue

Aim: To ensure people can access up-to-the-minute product information details.
Evaluation: This does exactly what it says - and is bang up to date - so much so that the new Supreme Plus Horse Weigh which is yet to be seen in the this magazine was already there in all it's glory! But it's not just about the company's products, there are links to a stallion directory and stud directory and a feedback section. If you want to see the Horse Weigh in action, check out the list of exhibition dates.
Verdict: Can't fault it's aims. Keep up the good work - daily updating obviously pays off. 9/10
