Pryde’s Pty Ltd was the first company in the Southern Hemisphere to manufacture a range of extruded pressure-cooked cereal grain based feeds for horses.

Pryde’s are strategically located at Gunnedah, a country town in the heart of the grain producing area of New South Wales, Australia, providing access to a wide variety of high quality grains and other ingredients to manufacture their horse feeds.

Peter Pryde, who founded Pryde’s in 1986, realised the benefits of extruded feeds when studying and training as a food technologist. He was convinced that cooking the starch and protein in grains would allow a much more efficient digestion process in the small intestine of the horse, overcoming many of the digestive and behavioural problems associated with feeding grain to horses.

Today Pryde’s operate under the Stockfeed Manufacturers Council guidelines and have adopted the FeedSafe™ Quality Assurance Program, which guarantees a clean fresh product every time it is manufactured.

Customer service remains the highest of priorities combined with the supply of quality nutrition products. Pryde’s manufacture, pack and dispatch products to order which helps ensure each batch of feed is freshly made when leaving the facility.

Pryde’s have an active product development program with a number of innovative new feeds in the pipeline that will meet the nutritional needs of a wide range of horses.

Pryde’s also utilise the feed analysis program Equi-Balance™, to assist horse owners and breeders in formulating balanced and complete feeds for all types of horses.
