ONE DAY EQUICULTURE COURSE - Saturday 25th Feb 2017 (10:00-16:00)

​(Healthy Land, Healthy Pasture, Healthy Horses) with Jane Myers Msc (Equine) (an international speaker on the subject of sustainable horse keeping).
​
​To be held at Great Canfield Village Hall on Saturday 25th February. To book please go to the equicentral Facebook page and find the link or:

THE COURSE: is aimed at horse owners that either own their own land (including livery yard owners and riding school owners), lease land or keep their horse/s on livery (so that’s everyone!). It is about how you can make small or large changes in horse management that both improve your horse’s ‘lifestyle’ and in turn, your lifestyle. A true win-win situation.

These are JUST SOME of the things you will learn about:-

• The differences between the free living (wild/feral) equine ‘lifestyle’ and the domestic equine ‘lifestyle’.
• Domestic grazing behaviour and how it affects equine management.
• The essential things that you need to know about pasture and grasses.
• Simple ways that you can ‘improve’ the pasture that your horse/s live on.
• All about MUD MANAGEMENT.
• How to become a desirable land manager/custodian (and therefore be more likely to be considered for leasing land or improve your chances of getting any potential development plans passed).
• Essential information about equines and obesity.
• An integrated pest management approach to manure management plus how to turn manure into an asset rather than a liability.
• How you can make changes to your horse management regime that will improve welfare, reduce costs, reduce your workload AND be good for the land all at the same time.
• All about THE EQUICENTRAL SYSTEM (a horse welfare/good environmental management horse and land care system that is a win-win all round).
• How you can assess what you already have and use that to improve equine welfare/management etc.
• And lots more…

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING: Light refreshments provided, please bring own packed lunch. You may also want to bring a notepad and pen. Our books are available for sale on the day, so if you prefer to just listen you might prefer to buy a book instead (but you certainly will not be pressured into buying books). 

TIMES: Starts 10.30am prompt (registration from 10am), finishes no later than 3.45pm (so plenty of time to see to your horse/s before and after). 

INVESTMENT: £40.00 per person, £60 per couple from the same address.
