About HorseHage & Mollichaff

HorseHage and Mollichaff are two established and trusted brands within the UK equestrian feed market. For over 30 years, our products have supported the health, performance, and wellbeing of horses nationwide.

Both brands are sold exclusively through a nationwide network of independent equestrian retailers and feed merchants. As a result, marketing plays a vital role in building consumer awareness, driving demand, and supporting retailer sell-through.

With a strong heritage and loyal customer base, we continue to invest in brand development, education, and engagement across the equestrian community. We are now looking to strengthen our marketing function to support the continued growth of both brands.
