The four-day event from 14 to 17 November 2024 at Melbourne Showgrounds includes a mix of competition, education, entertainment and exhibition.
It is regarded as the largest equine showcase in the Southern Hemisphere.
As EQUITANA’s official community Partner, CFA will focus on helping horse owners prepare and plan for the bushfire season.
Every Victorian who lives near dense forest, bush, grassland or the coast needs to prepare their property for bushfire. This includes considering what to do with animals.
CFA members from Wingeel, Macclesfield and Arthurs Creek brigades, a fire truck and a mobile education unit will attend the event to engage with visitors about property maintenance, making the decision to relocate your horses, preparing your horse for survival and actions to take after a fire.
This information is also relevant to those running agistment properties, trail ride centres and riding schools.
CFA thanks the organisers of EQUITANA Melbourne 2024 for inviting us be part of this event.
Horse lovers interested in attending the event can find more on the EQUITANA website.
