Eclipse Biofarmab was

established in 1983, by its

present owners, under the name

Eclipse products. From the

start the focus was on carefully

developed and tested products of

the highest quality. At an early

stage vets and pharmacological

experts were consulted to reach

the rigorous standards desired.

Biofarmab. She works with exports and

sales. Maj-lis has worked with horses

for more than 35 years, and has seven

horses at home on the farm

A name synonymous with quality

The name Eclipse demands

a more detailed explanation.

In Great Britain in 1764 a

thoroughbred was born who

descended from the Darley

Arabian's line. He was born

during an eclipse of the sun, and

was thus named Eclipse

Eclipse grew up to become

one of the greatest racehorses ever.

He started 27 times and withdrew from the turf underfeated!. As a breeder he

became a formidable success

and one of the greatest formers

in thoroughbred lineage. Almost

90% of all thoroughbreds can be

traced back to Eclipse.

Hambletonian is a direct

descendant of Eclipse, which

means that all American trotters

are descendants of Eclipse.

In many countries the Eclipse

Stakes are ridden every year to

honour one of the greatest horses

ever raced.

It was appropriate that a name synonymouns with quality be

chosen for the newly established

company, Eclipse, in 1983.

the joint owners and has previous

experience in trotting amoung other things

The manufacture of the clay is

situated in the old diary in Hishult,

which was purchased in 1986.                       

Clay paved the way

Superflog  (now replaced by

Bioflog) and Swede Clay were

the ticket into the Swedisch

equine sports for the compagny.

Both preparations are extracted

according to the horse tradition.

that has made Sweden one of the

leading trotting countries of the

world

Since the manufacturing of the

clay started in 1983 thousands

of tons of it have left the com-

pany for further transportation

to horsemen around the world

In the beginning the Clay were

used solely within the trotting

and horse racing arena, where

there is a long tradition of using

cooling and heating caly's to sup-

port the racehorse's legs.

Active people amoung the differ-

ent disciplines discouvered quite

quickly how effective the clays

were. Today the products are

found in most riding stables as

well as trotting and horse racing

stables.

Every batch contains about 500 kg

of clay.
