Sustainable Horse Living

January 17, 2015 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

There are so many facets of the equine world, that it is possible to focus on your niche skills and develop them into a business. This seems to have been accomplished by Jane and Stuart Myers, who have a passion for keeping horses sustainably.

Do you see Your Land as an Investment Worth Protecting?

Their business Equiculture focuses on just that – keeping horses in a manner that is responsible and sustainable. I love this concept!

Jane and Stuart travel Australia and the United Kingdom, providing talks on how horse owners can go about this. And the best part about this advice, is that it is often free! Local Councils will organise these talks and provide them to horse owners in the area – often along with a morning tea – for no cost. After all, why not invest in your local horse owners who often have property and should be educated to not only look after it, but to help it flourish?

I have been along to one such talk put on by Jane and Stuart and came away with so many notes and ideas – for this blog, and my future property! Currently I’m blessed to be able to also read and edit some of their books that are available for sale. If you have an interest in this area, I encourage you to check out their books, one being Buying a Horse Property.

Can you see how a niche area that you’re passionate about can lead to a career in the form of educating others by talks and selling books? If you have an interest in sustainability, be sure to also check out the Sustainable Horse.

A Horse is a Horse – Of Course

January 14, 2015 by Christine Meunier 2 Comments

A Horse is a Horse – of Course: A Guide to Equine Behaviour by Jane and Stuart Myers

This book that looks into horse behaviour, succinctly explains what any horse carer or owner should know about typical horse behaviour and needs. Jane and Stuart Myers have provided another informative book that should be read by any horse fan. It covers what horses are (and what they are not!) as well as horse behaviour and lifestyle.

In today’s society, horses are often utilised for pleasure or performance and the way in which we keep them differs vastly to what they are used to – or need! – in the wild. Domestication can result in digestive problems (colic, ulcers, laminitis) and stereotypic behaviours such as crib biting or box walking. Jane and Stuart look at what horses need to be comfortable and healthy, and explain why some methods of horse keeping do not provide this.

A Horse is a Horse is a straight forward read that has the potential to set many horse owners straight in a non accusing way. If you keep horses, you owe it to them to read this book and find out if there are ways that your management could be in need of adjustment – for your horses’ benefit.

Buying a Horse Property

January 8, 2015 by Christine Meunier 1 Comment

This book by the Equiculture team – Jane and Stuart Myers, covers the practicalities that need to be considered when shopping for and deciding to buy a horse property. The book takes a quick but informative look at what should be considered.

Buying a Horse Property by Jane and Stuart Myers

Topics covered include how lifestyle decisions can lead to purchasing a horse property and whether such an investment is a good one. For those interested in buying, the topics of the buyer’s budget, property location and size, facilities and layout, pastures and soil, natural features and much more are considered.

A checklist of questions to ask the vendor are included for those who are in the process of seeking out a property to buy.

Jane and Stuart are focused on sustainable horse properties and this book encourages such an outlook when looking to purchase a property. It contains a lot of valuable information and points readers to other resources where more information of value can be found. An insightful read from someone who hopes to put the information to good use in the future!
