Everything You Need To Know About Horses

Horse Health Tips (Pasture Management)

Good pasture management is a must, you can’t just turn horses out in the same paddock year after year and expect quality grazing.

Manure should be collected on a daily basis, as the worm cycle depends on eggs passed in manure to be eaten by a new host horse. Harrowing is also recommended as this spreads manure, exposing and destroying the eggs.

Rest your paddocks regularly and never turn horses out in a paddock containing Patterson’s Curse, currently growing well after this year’s devastating drought and bush fires. Consult your Department of Agriculture about weed control.
