Here’s one of those free online resources worth checking out!
The Vaccination Guideline at Health for Horses allows for horse owners to enter their horse’s name, age and classification to determine potential vaccinations that should be undertaken for that particular horse.
From here a list of potential diseases to vaccinate against are linked to, as well as recommended vaccination products and when to vaccinate. Not bad!
To top things off, you’re even able to download a .pdf version of this file with the information on it. A great way to keep on top of paperwork, particularly if you’re running a horse business!

At uni this semester I am undertaking an elective Property Planning and Development. I look forward to the day when I can apply the principles to my husbands and my property, but until then, am content focusing on the agistment facility where I keep my gelding.
We are required to map out what is available on the property in the form of facilities and paddock subdivision and then create another overlay where we put in proposed changes/additions with a focus on sustainability.
This is possible to do manually with a printed out aerial map of the property, or electronically.
If choosing to do so electronically, we’ve been pointed towards a program that you can gain for the cost of postage (otherwise it’s free) from eAgribusiness. If you’re establishing your own setup, the cost of postage is well worth investing in (and probably can be claimed on tax ;)).

However mighty its force
Had never achieved its lordly plan
Without the aid of a horse.” – Ella Wilcox
I’m studying marketing as one of my subjects for my Equine Science Degree at Charles Sturt University, and have been made aware of www.eventseye.com. This site lists events that are occurring around the world, searchable by:
If you’re hoping to establish relationships overseas, or want to know about events that you can promote your equine product/service at, how great to know about this site! If you search by keywords, and enter ‘horse’, it gives you a list of 53 events worldwide!
I made a note of only the first six examples:
If you have a horse business that you’re planning to take internationally, or one that you’re setting up, I encourage you to consider international opportunities to grow.
