We hope this post will pick you up, pick you up.

The sad news about Daryl Braithwaite retiring from performing live got us thinking about all the Victorian horses yeah, yeah.

Do you know how to keep them safe during a flood? Agriculture Victoria does, and they recommend the following:

🐴 Make a family and pet evacuation plan
🐴 In a flash flood area, map out alternative escape routes
🐴 Keep horse floats and vehicles in good working order
🐴 Stockpile and replenish emergency supplies
🐴 Don't stable horses if you have to leave them behind

That's the way it's going to be for your pet's best care in an emergency. For more information, visit: https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/livestock-and-animals/horses/health-and-welfare/horses-and-floods
