Testimonial

  • "We have known Jill for some time through her involvement with the welfare of Kaimanawa horses, both as an owner of rescue horses and as our Canterbury Representative. She has a genuine caring personality and a very open friendliness and calmness to her that both people and animals respond to. Her knowledge, skill, and preparedness to continually improve her abilities is an inspiration, and we would have no hesitation in referring her and the Monsterminders service to others."

Feeding Advice

Does your horse drop too much weight in Winter?

Or put weight on in Spring and Summer?

Are you unsure about quantities of hay to feed?

I can come meet you and your horse and help you formulate a good plan for year round maintenance.

Emergency Horse Rescue

I have completed the Massey VERT Large Animal Rescue Workshop and can assist with rescues from ditches, ponds, swimming pools, mud flats, etc.

Your first call should be to the Fire Service (they have the necessary long straps and manpower for pulling), next to your Vet, then me on 027 472 6391.

Do NOT attempt to remove a large animal from any of these situations on your own or with a tractor or other vehicle!

Pasture Management Advice

Does your pasture run out?

Or do you have too much pasture?

Do you have large clumps in your pasture?

Do you have a lot of weeds like docks, marshmallow, or buttercup?

Are you continually moving temporary fences?

I can meet you at your property and discuss some options for year round management, and help prevent over-grazing of the ground.

Track System Grazing Advice

Do your horses get more than 15km of exercise per day?

Does your horse suffer from bouts of laminitis?

Have you been curious about track grazing and want to know more?

Do you need tips on how to set it up at your property?

Track grazing allows your horse his natural instinct to forage and get exercise by following your track system 24/7. It increases circulation and develops and strengthens muscles naturally, and allows you to monitor the amount of grass they eat without having to lock them up or away from their friends.
