Small Acreage Horse Keeping

I own 3 horses and live on 2.5 acres in the wonderful Lockyer Valley of SE Queensland, Australia. Besides being a horse lover I am also a wife, mother. I hold a Diploma of Medical Herbalism and am a Registered Nurse.

I pursue Natural Horsemanship through Quantum Savvy, aim to provide my horses with a habitat that is as close to natural as I can make it, manage their health by feeding as close to natural as I can, and support their health care with herbal remedies.

The aim of this site is to share my experiences in the fields of Pasture Management, Natural Horsemanship and Horse Keeping. Please remember that what I share are my experiences only as they relate to my property and my horses and should at no time be taken as me telling you how things should be done. I don’t know your situation or your horses so please, please, please seek expert advise and educate yourself. This site can be used as a guide to give you ideas and find information, and share your experiences.

I know that we are all keen to try out things we have read, heard or seen, but be smart about it and look before you leap. If you do that, you will find some interesting information, meet knowledgeable people and gain a lot of insight, which will allow you to make educated choices as they befit your situation.

That’s what I did and still do and my knowledge is growing all the time, and as my knowledge is growing, my approach to horse keeping and feeding, and the way I manage my property is constantly evolving. 

Enjoy reading the information this site can give you, but be critical and exercise good judgment at all times and please leave some feedback and share your story. We can all  learn from each others experiences. 

Cheers

Petra
