So I’ve recently come across a pdf download that is incredible. It’s a free equine calendar resource by the government of South Australia. They’ve called it a Perpetual Calendar. And it is – it covers the months of the year and the number of days, but doesn’t assign particular days of the week so it can be used year in, year out.
What I love about this calendar is that it’s got beautiful horse images as well as the days of the month listed. And then on top of this, it adds in information applicable to horse keeping.
For example, at the end of January, there’s a page on grass pasture management and details on how tall grass should be whilst it is grazed by horses. How cool!
February then looks at dung beetles and horse parasites. Fast forward to March and there’s information on hoof and dental care. This even includes a diagram of the hoof with each point!
At the end of each month, there is a page of helpful horse management and care information. You can read about condition scoring your horse, managing manure and also preparing for emergencies. And the final page looks at the vitals of the horse – oh so handy. Oh, and did I also mention that this resource is free? You can’t lose!
