Julie has advised that this info will be well provided in rolling support but well just pop it here now whilst youre all reading... Horses must not be fed off the ground. All feeds must be elevated and mineral blocks must be placed as they still need to lip regardless of this. Throwing an exercise ball into the space will also assist but not replace the requirement for a block to be installed. If this doesnt happen post fatalities will escalate due to ashen bloat and toxicity intake. There are also spores that come alive in the fireground for a small amount of time that are deadly. The next point is to add that they cannot drink from regular water supply as it will be lethally contaminated. Any water source that was not covered - including tanks will be in the same condition. It is simply not necessary to put horses at further risk and suffering after what theyve already been through as there are plenty of agistments on offer. Bloats the biggest issue. Far more horses died from post event circumstances in the blue mountains fires in 2013. And also the immediate checking over for lumps on heads for those that were shaken up in floating. There were losses to these dropping dead 2 days later also.
