Australian Horse Keeping Conference 2012
Living Legends Melbourne 12 /13 Nov 2012
Horse owners talk about weeds, dust, mud and emerging diseases. Scientists and natural resource managers talk about water quality, biodiversity and climate impacts. Yet we are all talking about the same thing.

Welcome to the New Website of MB Equine Services
Welcome to the new website of MB Equine Services. We found that it was time to update our website and make it more interactive for horse owners. We publish on a regular basis educational articles on horse nutrition, property design and pasture management in a number of horse magazines and we would like to notify our readers and new visitors/horse owners about our new releases. In addition, we have started our blog, which will feature information about our upcoming events (e.g. seminars, workshops, clinic etc) and in the field results and observations from our services. We will also publish regular posts on the progress of Mariette’s PhD equine nutrition project. More information about this interesting study will follow soon.
We hope that this website is more user friendly and we will do our best to keep improving it. Happy browsing!
