MB Equine Nutrition and Regenerative Horse Property Design & Pasture Management Workshops
MB Equine Services offers a series of specialised workshops and seminars that focus on the health, nutrition and management of horses. The main objective of the workshops/seminars is to provide the equine community with applied and scientific based information on horse nutrition, management, property design and pasture management.
Equine Nutrition
Equine nutrition is not only about evaluating and formulating pony or horse diets according their nutritional needs, it involves various other aspects such as your personal goal-setting, time management, general feeding and horse management and property and pasture planning. We discovered that a holistic perspective is essential in horse (nutrition) management and we therefore provide education that take important horse care and personal aspects into consideration to be able to maintain the desired outcomes over long-term.
Sustainable Horse Keeping
Generally, horse keeping is considered to be a costly hobby or business, especially with current price rises in living expenses and feed costs. On top of that, horse and land owners encounter the high input costs or difficulties to maintain pastures and sustain the dietary needs of horses. The need for a new approach to these challenges of horse keeping is getting more foot hold in the equine community and sport industry. To be able to make horse keeping more economically viable and productive we must develop a sustainable horse property and management plan that caters for immediate and long-term needs, your own personal goals (social, economical), your horse’s well-being and the environment. MB Equine Services provides this new approach by using Permaculture principles and Holistic Management® (HM). Our Regenerative Horse Property Design and Pasture Management workshops and seminars are for all horse and land owners, small and large acreage, that want to learn more about how to restore their land, improve soil carbon, regenerate pastures, drought proof their farm and close the input cycle of chemical based fertilisers by developing their own compost (tea) alternative and reduce supplementary feed cost.
