The Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group welcomes everyone interested in sustainable land management, particularly in the management or resources supporting horses and other equines.

We provide a network of support and information for horse owners to develop their paddocks or plan their properties and land management systems to be efficient, horse friendly and environmentally friendly.

We will discuss and encourage:

  • Pasture development and soil health
  • Weed and pest management
  • Protection of waterways and water quality
  • The benefits of incorporating and maintaining areas of indigenous vegetation on our land, and practical ways to incorporate and add these to a horse paddock or property
  • Explore ways to provide habitat for indigenous birds and wildlife.

Projects

Greener Pastures

Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare (MP Equine) is delighted to have received funding through the Community Bank Balnarring & District for their Greener Pastures project, which continues a strong focus on education and support for environmentally sustainable horse management.

This project will deliver a series of three workshops in 2026-2027, featuring expert speakers to equip horse owners with practical, scientifically sound approaches to property design and land management. Participants will learn how to improve pastures, build healthy soils, and restore degraded areas—outcomes that enhance biodiversity, protect local waterways, reduce weeds and pests, and support healthier horses.

By investing in high-quality, evidence-based education and fostering collaboration across the equine community, this initiative will strengthen the capacity of MP Equine members and the broader community, inspiring lasting adoption of best-practice Landcare methods and more responsible horse ownership.
