You and Your New Horse Seminar

Are you thinking about buying your first horse or are
you a first time horse owner?

Do you want to learn more about horse care?

For many people the fulfilment of getting their first pony or horse is a dream come true, but then comes the practicality of having to care for it.

To assist people who are interested in the responsibilities and enjoyment of horse ownership, the RSPCA will present a seminar, 'You & Your New Horse'.

The seminar is aimed at educating people about the responsibilities of horse ownership with a focus on improving the quality of horse care. The seminar will suit first horse owners, those who are thinking of buying their first horse or those who want to learn more about horse care.

To help people understand the management issues of horses, the RSPCA has put together an interactive, hands-on practical information seminar that is suitable for kids over 14 and adults (please note that 14 and 15 years olds must be accompanied by an adult).

Topics to be covered:

• what you need for your horse

• purchasing your horse

• keeping a horse

• feeding your horse

• horse behaviour and safety around horses

• what can happen if you don't look after your horse

Demonstrations by:

• farrier

There will also be a variety of informative displays where you can have your questions answered.
