Workshop - Building climate resilience on horse properties

As landowners we are all concerned about how the future of hotter drier years will affect our properties and our animals. We need to be proactive in learning about climate change and its effects so that you’re not caught out.

By understanding what to expect and planning for ongoing weather changes, we can prevent expensive damage and repairs, and as horse owners, we can ensure our horses remain happy and healthy.

Climate change is here and more change is on the way, so the reality is we need to be ready. 

We invite you to be part of this informative upcoming one day session.
