Endo - you showed the world that you don't need sight, only your soul, to be able to conquer anything with Morgan by your side!!!💖🦄💖
The world is collectively broken hearted over you leaving this realm - but you truly showed how much a huge heart and true connection to your human soul mate, can overcome all challenges in this life!!!💞💞💞
May you run pain free now beautiful boy - you have left an absolute legacy behind you - and despite the vast majority of us having never met you in person, we are all shattered over your passing, and send our massive condolences to Morgan and all of Endo's equine companions💔
Rest in Peace across the Rainbow Bridge💖🌈💖

With the mercury just tipping 40° here just before 3pm - we hope everyone has been staying cool, prepared and vigilant today🙏🐴🙏🦄🙏

Here at Glenferrie we started preparations super early this morning - with sprinklers on everywhere, bowls of water out for the wildlife, both fire trucks collected and bought back here (with our brigade responding to any call outs from Glenferrie today), horses rugs and fly masks removed at feed time (along with all agisters being notified yesterday of the conditions, and on stand by to help attend and activate our fire plan if need be), the property drenched around the house, stables, roundyards, feed shed and hay shed with our big fire hose, and both irrigators running all day, plus numerous fire hoses charged to run off our bores in the event of any incidents💪🌊🚫🚒🔥🚒🚫🌊💪

Looking forward to the cool change coming through later tonight - especially with local crews still responding to the fire ground at Tooperang today - to bring some relief from this heat and fire risk for all🙏🙏🙏 Although not looking forward to the upcoming week - where we get to repeat this process all over again!!!😵‍💫😞

Stay safe all - and take care in this heat!!!🙏🥵🙏

Fantastic information from HorsemedSA Hills Equine Veterinary Clinic, regarding managing your horse's in this latest heatwave in SA!!!💖🐴💖

🥵 It's so hot! This heatwave is unrelenting and
as much as we would love to hide in the air conditioning, horses still need vets! 🥵

Here's some great tips from our vets to keep your horses comfortable in the hot weather:

💧 Always check troughs and other water sources at least twice daily - troughs can empty quickly in this weather and dehydration can set in

💩If you notice your horse isn’t passing as many poos as usual, is slightly off colour or listless, it’s best to get them looked at. Impaction colic often starts slowly and can be resolved in the early stages with fluids and electrolytes

🧊 Many horses love grated apple and carrots frozen into a large ice cube! Just like us having an icy cold drink it can be a popular choice on a hot day!

👕 If possible avoid rugs - even a light white cotton sheet has been shown to keep a horse hotter than no rug at all. Each horse is an individual and it’s best to do what works for your horse but unfortunately rugs don’t keep them cool!

If you’re worried about your horse our vets are available, even in this weather! Call our office on 08 8391 9400 if you need to make an appointment.

Fire Danger Ratings
Where fire ban districts have a forecast fire danger rating of Extreme, only well prepared, well constructed and actively defended houses are likely to offer safety during a fire.

What should you do
If you don't have a plan to ensure your survival, leaving early before a fire starts is your safest option.

In making your plan, you should be aware that in high fire danger conditions, essential services including mains-fed electricity and water supply may not be available due to the prevailing weather conditions.

Landowners are asked to adhere to local harvest codes of practice which are available from your local council. Landowners are also asked to ensure that any burn-off activities conducted today are fully extinguished before midnight tonight.

Agencies are advised to activate their Total Fire Ban procedures in preparation for these predicted fire weather conditions
