West Coast - Extreme
Eastern Eyre Peninsula - Extreme
Lower Eyre Peninsula - Extreme
Mid North - Extreme
Mount Lofty Ranges - Extreme

Where Total Fire Bans have been declared, very hazardous fire weather conditions are predicted.

The Total Fire Ban will apply for 24 hours from midnight tonight to midnight tomorrow.

The CFS recommends that you implement your Bushfire Survival Plan.

Fire Danger Ratings
Where fire ban districts have a forecast fire danger rating of Extreme, only well prepared, well constructed and actively defended houses are likely to offer safety during a fire.

What should you do
If you don't have a plan to ensure your survival, leaving early before a fire starts is your safest option.

In making your plan, you should be aware that in high fire danger conditions, essential services including mains-fed electricity and water supply may not be available due to the prevailing weather conditions.

Landowners are asked to adhere to local harvest codes of practice which are available from your local council.

Landowners are also asked to ensure that any burn-off activities conducted today are fully extinguished before midnight tonight.

Agencies are advised to activate their Total Fire Ban procedures in preparation for these predicted fire weather conditions.

One of the hardest things as an agistment owner - other than the obvious 7 days a week, rain, hail or shine, twice a day feeding/rugging/fly masks, maintaining fences, pasture, facilities, infrastructure, dynamics between agistees, dealing with unexpected events, etc, etc, etc - is the pairing up of group paddocks, and managing dynamics between new herd members💖🐴🐴🐴🐴💖

As an agistment business is based off of people that are long term agistees, and people that come and go for genuine reasons - there is always a time where a shared paddock loses a horse - and a new friend/s needs to be introduced to a paddock🐴🍀🐴

This is something Glenferrie has been managing for the last 38 years, (even in the years of specialising in TB agistment/spelling/pre-training) - but never becomes something we take lightly, or don't put a lot of thought into choosing the right horses to become paddock companions together🤔🤔🤔

Yesterday saw the successful pairing of Amy's two beautiful Friesian boy's Gus and Zephr, with Tessa's two lovely Arab/SB lad's, father and son, Winnie and Teddy🤗 Despite the huge size difference between the pair - we knew Gus and Zephr were very fair previous herd members, and Winnie and Teddy were a bonded pair - and in a 3 acre paddock with plenty of room to move - it 'should' work!!🫰

And it did!!!! Here is a little video of the introduction - and despite poor Teddy getting a little reminder from Zephr that you don't go crashing up a strange horse's butt - it worked out beautifully!! And with two of our CCTV cameras zoomed in on the paddock for the day, feed time last night was a non-event ie no contesting for feed - and this morning we have a happy herd of 4 hanging out together!!🥳🥳

Another successful paddock pairing in the life of Glenferrie Stud!!!💖🐴🐴🐴🐴💖
