Dear horse owners and local community.

As the fire season approaches, keeping our equine companions safe is a top priority.

Join us for a practical and informative Horses & Bushfire Safety Workshop to help you prepare your horse property, plan for evacuation, and protect your horses during emergencies.

Cost FREE (Afternoon tea provided)

What we will cover

1. Property preparation: creating defendable space, safe fencing and managing pastures 

2. Evacuation Planning: Deciding when to leave early, identifying safer relocation zones and float training under stress.

3. Local resources: Connecting with local CFA volunteers, equine rescue groups and community networks.

(We will also be running a quick Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Afternoon Tea during the break)
