Is Tarago Riding Club right for you? If you own a horse or want to get into horses, get back into horses, love riding, looking for a non judgemental and inclusive safe club that is relaxed and easy going - we don't care if you're young or old, dressed in full matchy matchy or in your pijamas (as long as you have riding shoes and a helmet on!), enjoy a cup of tea or are a coffee nut like our secretary, enjoy a beer or are a wine lover (no not whilst riding sorry, but after...I mean there's a pub at Tarago after all...) if you love dressage or if you love trail riding - these are all factors that don't worry us. We are a safety focused club with a tonne of fun facilities. We have the capacity for a bit of everything in this club and that includes a bit of everyone 😀 if you are unsure if it's the right club for you - send us a message or an email or pony express...come for the day, come without a horse - what ever floats your...well..horse? We are a group of people who love riding socially together and are not competitive, just like a group of friends who meet up for a play date. Sounds good right?

🌟📣 Public Service Announcement 🌟📣

My horses have been getting bot flies on them for about 3-4 weeks now, and following someone else’s advice, I tried using these dermaplaning razors to remove the eggs from the horses legs. They are razor sharp (excuse the pun), so watch your fingers, but AH-mazing at removing eggs.

My horse in particular hates standing still while I use the traditional bot fly knife (which mind you costs about $60 and is as blunt as anything even when brand new), and you can swipe the same bot fly egg ten times and still not remove anything! When using this razor, he doesn’t even know I’m doing it (preoccupied with carrots 🥕 of course) and you can de-egg a whole leg in less than a minute. Absolute game changer.

Warning: you do shave off a bit of hair with the eggs so if you have show ponies this may not be for you. But if you don’t mind a couple bald spots…

Do yourself a favour and get a packet. I got these as a 3-pack from woollies for $8-something on special, normally around $12.

Why bother removing bot eggs? Maybe I’m just a bot fly n**i, but the less eggs that end up in our horses stomachs via ingestion from scratching at their legs with their teeth, less worm burden, proper autumn drenching etiquette (repeat after me: drench with a BOTICIDE AFTER THE FIRST FROST IN AUTUMN) equals LESS flies season after season. If we all do the work, our horses will be much happier and healthier.

Rant over, buy some razors and happy egg removing 😁

What a great method to estimate your horses body weight; I’ve always found weight tapes to be unreliable!
It’s always good to know roughly how much your horse weighs to determine amount of worming paste, medication, etc.

(Convert final weight to kg not pounds)

Knowing how much your horse weighs is useful in determining how much daily feed is needed. Also, dewormers and other medications are designed to be dispensed at specific levels relative to a horse’s weight. Unfortunately, most horse owners do not have easy access to a set of scales and must often resort to visual evaluation for estimating weight. A simple formula to help you more accurately estimate your horse's weight.
