With all the beautiful rain we’ve had so far, the newly sowed pasture has taken off!
I have mowed it a couple of times and now it’s ready for horses! 🐴 πŸ’š
It took a while to establish, but with Rhodes grass you have to be patient 🀣
It’s a mixture of Rhodes and Couch grass.

I have 4 paddocks available for two horses. 2 horses will rotate between these 4 paddocks and each horse will have 2 paddocks, so always nice grass available! πŸ’š
New cyclone graded shelters with automated waterers out of the sun, so your horse has always cool water available! πŸ’¦
I live on site and if I’m not home there are always people here to look after the place so your horse is really well monitored. We have also safety cameras out this way so your horse is super safe! πŸŽ₯

With the rain predicted next week this is a fantastic opportunity to have your horse living in paradise and out of the mud! β˜”οΈ
We feed once a day in the morning for you and extra feeding is possible when required. We can provide beautiful round bales of Rhodes grass for you and we will put them under the shelter for you with hay nets and pods included!

Including the agistment fee is the use of our top class facilities, 20-60 indoor arena with mirrors, 20-30 indoor arena. Wash bays with warm water, and fantastic tack room to store your gear, and the tack room is also under video surveillance.
4000m2 outdoor arena with jumps, we have a fantastic cross country course with a water jump and there is a trial riding possible on the property. We are next to the national trail ride so there is plenty of tail riding possible!

We have regular clinics from fantastic professionals, and you will hear first up about them! 🀩

This part of the property doesn’t get a lot of water that collects as we have brought soil in to fill up the muddy spots where high hoof traffic will be, around the shelters and front fencing.
Please pm us if you are interested and we can arrange a meeting and visiting. πŸ’š
Looking for longer term agistees.
