Event description
EQUICULTURE WORKSHOP
Managing land for horses can be complicated. There is a lot of conflicting information out there. Do you deal with the misery of mud when its wet, or dust when its dry? Do you spend hours doing management chores rather than enjoying your horses? Do you worry about safe, healthy pasture? Are you concerned about poor soil conditions and reduced biodiversity? Do you want to learn a way to manage your horse/s & the land in a way that is good for horses, people and the environment?
Join the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network - Sustainable Agriculture Series, partnering with Kiewa Catchment Landcare Groups and internationally acclaimed author and presenter Stuart Myers, for a workshop on how to manage horses and the land they live on. Learn how to make decisions that will improve your life and the life of your horse/s.

While we are able to cater for gluten-free and vegetarian options at our events it is difficult to cater for every dietary requirement due to our limited funding. If you have dietary requirements outside of these two options please bring your own food and drink.
