25.01.2022 Dear ENMT friends and clients - just wanted to let you know that we are relocating to the NSW Sapphire Coast during late-January to mid-February (yes, with our horses, of course). My business will temporarily cease trading during the move, so if you’d like to top-up on any horse products or LocalSafe weed terminator before then, please let me know asap, so that I can prepare your order for collection/delivery during January https://equinenmt.com.au/shop/ or [email protected] . With the exception of existing bookings, my equine bodywork services will no longer be available for the Albury-Wodonga area. I’d like to thank you for your supporting ENMT over the years and for allowing me the privilege of helping your horse. Aside from bodywork services, I hope this may continue once the business is up and running again (anticipated late-Feb). Also, may you and your loved ones enjoy a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2021. Stay safe, well and happy - Di xx

20.01.2022 IS YOUR HORSE FED APPROPRIATELY? How's this for a visual you won't soon forget? This is how much stomach acid a horse's body produces each day. Two standard buc...kets full. Why does this matter? Your chosen feeding practices can have a direct impact on whether this stomach acid is beneficial to the horse's well-being, or not. Horses produce saliva when they chew; the more the horse chews, the more saliva is produced. If horses have access to ad-lib forage (hay or pasture), they will produce two buckets of saliva each day. Saliva serves a few purposes in the digestion process, one of which is to help buffer stomach acid. On the other hand, horses who are fed set feedings, with imposed fasting in between, have greatly limited chew time. They can't produce this same volume of saliva. The horse's stomach is relatively small, and only lined with a protective coating on the lower two-thirds. Excess and 'unemployed' acid can splash up onto the unprotected top third of an empty stomach, resulting in pain, ulcers, and psychological distress for the horse. Such discomfort is a common cause of aggression at feeding time. Regardless of the amount of chew time a horse has each day, his body still produces these two buckets of stomach acid 1.5 litres every hour, 24 hours a day. It is our responsibility as the horse's caretaker to maximize 'chew time', and feed the horse as they have evolved to eat. What can you do to increase your horse's chew time, balancing out these buckets so-to-speak? PS. If your horse has metabolic issues, consult with a qualified equine nutritionist to find a hay with an appropriate nutritional profile that can be consumed ad lib. And watch how you carry those buckets!

10.01.2022 Onthophagus taurus is the featured beetle and is an introduced species to Australia. Native to the Mediterranean regions of Europe, Africa and the Middle East i...t was first released at Uriarra Station near Canberra in 1975, and is now well established across southern regions of the country. O. taurus is a small black dung beetle (8-10 mm in length) that you will most likely encounter in sheep or cattle dung, from spring through to autumn. The horns of the major males are impressive, and you are unlikely to confuse this beetle with any other species. However, minor males are common. These are beetles that did not have sufficient nutrition during their larval stage, and have horns that are less developed. Known as sexual dimorphism, females look very different to the males. They lack horns and instead have prominent ridges on their head. They can be confused with females of another introduced species, Onthophagus binodis.
