I thought you might be interested in this FREE Workshop for Horse Owners hosted by Macleay Landcare. I have attached the flyer and the recent Argus Article on Jane and Stuart Myers. RSVP is essential by calling Natasha on 65622076, but it should be very interesting. Jane and Stuart are here to do a seminar at the Kempsey Showground on Saturday 29th November.on how to improve horse property management. The seminar educates horse property owners about how to develop a sustainable equine property. During the seminar horse owners learn how to use their horses natural and domesticated behaviours combined with good pasture management principals to improve and maintain their properties. This includes how to manage pasture for horses and encourage biodiversity, the relationship between horses and their pastures including looking at issues such as laminitis and equine obesity, how to manage manure, water and vegetation and how to plan and design a horse property. The seminar also educates horse property owners about the value of sound property management practices, not only in terms of horse care, horse health, financial benefits and aesthetic improvements to their property, but just as importantly the environmental benefits, including the effects on water catchment, weed control and erosion and the benefits to the wider community. Pasture management principles are similar for large or small horse properties. The main objective is growing the correct grasses and other pasture species in order to reduce the feed bill, whilst maintaining good groundcover, reducing erosion and run off into waterways, reducing the worm (parasite) burden of horses and controlling weeds. Horse owners who attend the seminar learn all about these important subjects and much more besides.
