If the current weather forecast is correct, it looks like the Gold Coast is going to get ALOT of rain over the next 4 days.  If you have horses in low lying areas that are prone to flooding please make plans now to move them if necessary. Don”t wait until it is too late. We ourselves experienced an unexpected rain event that caused flash flooding when we had a horses on the Gold Coast and we almost lost horses. It was really scary so speaking from experience, please make plans now in case you need them. There are flood free paddocks available at KPH Agistment at Beaudesert if you don’t have other options.
This morning before the rain sets in, please call into Gold Coast Stockfeed to stock up on hay (we have lots of fresh Rhodes, grassy lucerne and lucerne hay in store), Proteq Bedding Pellets, wood shavings, gut health products and stress paste because this weather does affect the horses and veterinary items to make sure you have things on hand if needed. Cetrigen spray is vital for cuts and nicks so they don’t become infected in the water and turn into cellulitis. Poultices and bandages are good items to stock up on too for abcesses likely to develop after this rain event.
If you need any advice on preparation for the wet weather, have a chat to our friendly team who have years of hands on knowledge. Stay safe.
***This forecast is no longer valid and was heavily downgraded early Friday morning!*** UMMMMM Wholly snapping duck *hit we might wanna hope the "best" forecast model in the world is actually wrong for once! 250 to 500mm across the South East Coast including BRISBANE between tomorrow night and Sunday is an absolute flogging. See if it's still there in the morning when we wake up, if so things will get full on fast and we will have to be going full noise!
