HORSE owners can learn how to improve their property management at a free seminar in North Moruya on Monday.
Stuart Myers, of Equiculture will conduct the seminar, which aims to help owners develop a sustainable equine property.
It will explore how to use a horse’s natural and domesticated behaviour, combined with good pasture management principals, to improve and maintain properties.
Participants will learn how to manage pasture and encourage biodiversity, and discover the relationship between horses and their pastures, including issues such as laminitis and equine obesity.
Other topics will include managaging manure, water and vegetation and how to plan and design a horse property.
The value of sound property management practices will be discussed, including horse care, health, financial benefits, aesthetic improvements, as well as environmental benefits, water catchments, weed control and erosion.
The course will be held on March 30, from 9.30am to 3.30pm, at a private property.
Lunch will be provided.
For bookings phone Peter Gow from the South East Local Land Services on 4475 1001 or 0477 351 353, or email Peter.Gow@lls.nsw.gov.au by March 27.
