Stuart, who with his partner Jane Myers MSc (Equine) operate the equine business Equiculture in Queensland, will be here in Inverell on Sunday, October, 16 to do a seminar at the Equine Centre on Cameron Street behind the Inverell Racecourse on how to improve horse property management.
The seminar assists horse property owners to 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 pastures with regard to laminitis and equine obesity, how to manage manure, water and vegetation and how to plan and design a horse property.
The seminar will also address the issue of sound property management practices, not just in horse terms, but 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, while maintaining good groundcover, reducing erosion and run off into waterways, reducing the worm burden of horses and controlling weeds.
The seminar will be visual, entertaining and extremely informative. For further information please contact Anya Salmon at the Gwymac Landcare office on 6721 1241.
