Hevonen Feeds started its operations in 2024, our motivation was the endless love and respect for horses, but let's start at the beginning, with whom it all began: Hullervo.

Nuestron Hullervo, the 14-year-old Finnish sports gelding, came to us in December 2022 and became a new member of our family at the same time. This is where our relationship with Finland started. In the first instance, my motivation was to visit the former owner and breeder of Hullis in order to find out more information about Hullis' past. Later, when our veterinarian visited the horses for the annual mandatory vaccinations, he remarked that he had never seen a 14-year-old horse in such good condition, with whom the previous riders have been competing in show jumping and military for years, and it would be worthwhile to ask about the feeding and training methods used in Finland.

That's why I visited Hullis' breeder again, later life brought me together with a doctor of Hungarian origin practicing in Finland, and with their help we got access to the basic feed mixture and its specifications of a horse breeding and competition stable that has stopped working due to family reasons.

We were not able to find similar concentrated feeds on the Hungarian market unfortunately so we just produced for our own horses. This is where the idea came from, why would we only mix it for our own horses, if we could also help other horses and horse owners with it?

Great, you have the recipe, you have the idea, but how to proceed?

Horses have been a part of my life since I was young, Hullervo is currently my third horse of my own, in the meantime there were several horses that we rented for competition or for my own development, so feeding horses of different ages, types, habits and health conditions, and also because of my horse trainer studies, was not unfamiliar for me. However, the production/development of a product is different. Whether in equestrian sports or in life, I have always said that you should do what you know how to do, what you have learned and entrust what you can't do to the professional who knows how to do it. There was no difference in this case.

Because we had a very good basic feed recipe with several mixing options for the proper feeding of horses wit different age and requirements, we had to consider that the quality of forage, climate factors, feeding habits and breeding standards are completely different in Finland than in our country. Therefore, in order for our feed to 100% satisfy domestic needs, we had to change the proportions and quantities of a few ingredients.  

That is when Zsófia Csonka joined us with her immense equine nutritional knowledge, immense respect, motivation and love for horses (you can read more about Zsófi and her work by clicking here). With her expertise and help, we re-formulated our recipes, thus combining innovation and tradition to create our current feed portfolio. We were able to manufacture high quality, straight, unprocessed grain free mixtures which can be fed easily without extra complicated supplementation.

 Our products are under continuous development according to the latest studies and production methods, so we can always manufacture the most updated and first-class products for our customers. We believe in collaboration and we are open to establishing long-term partnerships with like-minded companies and professionals.
