From Pony Club Victoria
Pony Club Australia has recently released a new ‘Feeding, Forage & Water at Pony Club Camps and Multi-Day Events’ guide to help clubs, organisers, riders and parents support horse welfare at camps and multi-day events.
The guide covers practical information including:
Planning daily forage requirements
Daytime and overnight feeding
The PCA requirement that horses must not go more than six hours without access to food at a Pony Club event
Providing clean, reliable water
Keeping a horse’s normal diet as consistent as possible while away
Practical checklists for organisers, riders and parents
The guide can be found on the PCA website and PCV website here: https://ponyclubvic.org.au/feeding-forage-water-at-pony-club-camps-and-multi-day-events/
In summary, at an event?? Feed your horses! Yes, even the fat ponies need constant access to forage. A handle of chaff at lunch time is not enough. It’s not spoiling them, it’s providing them with their absolutely basics needs 🐎
