Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

We have been told that horses are bad for the Australian environment – to the extent that riding horses is forbidden in many parks in Australia.

Of course, there’s no doubt that hard footed animals are responsible for a large part of the degradation of the land here in Australia.

Well, the good news is, that horses and cattle can also play a significant part in saving the environment.  Well-managed native pasture sequesters more carbon than trees do.  And sequestering carbon is what governments to environmentalists are trying to do at the moment.

…Graeme Hand, agricultural scientist and CEO of STIPA, the native grass company, is going to spend a day telling us how we can regenerate native pasture using horses to do it… 

This one day course is taking place here at Tanjil South on the 9^th October.  Graeme has very generously given us the day at a fixed rate plus $20 each for the notes, which will mean that the cost of the day, divided up amongst ourselves will come in under $100 each..  The more people that come, the less the cost.

I’ve had a taste of what Graeme has to offer us and I’m very excited to be learning more.  He’s a great speaker, interesting and had me on the edge of my seat making sure that I didn’t miss a thing.  Tell every horse person you know about this one!

Phone me, Jenny on 03 5160 1481 to book.  Bring something for lunch to share.
