At Kurri Rural and Pet Produce, we’ve got everything you need to keep your four-legged ride running smoothly, efficiently, and looking the part.

🔧 Upgrade Your “Engine” (Horse Fitness)
A fit horse is an efficient horse. Consistent training helps improve stamina and reduces the energy needed to cover the same distance.

⚡ Turbo Training
Focus on forward, balanced movement and steady conditioning. Less stop-start “traffic” means better energy use for your horse.

🪶 Custom Interior (Comfort & Style)
Upgrade your tack for better comfort and performance. Saddlery, girths, stirrups, and quality rugs can make every ride smoother for both horse and rider.

🌾 Eco-Mode Nutrition
Fuel your horse the smart way. Quality feeds, supplements, and hay help maintain consistent energy levels without unnecessary extras.

💡 LED Lights & Safety Gear
Reflective gear, lights, and bright accessories help keep you visible and safe when riding in low light while adding a bit of flair.

Whether you’re training, trail riding, or heading back to Pony Club, we’ve got the gear to keep your “ride” performing at its best.

Check out this amazing read from Taree Veterinary Hospital! Great information about grass’s and big head

Fun Fact Friday 🐴

🐴 "Big Head" in horses (scientifically known as Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism) is a metabolic condition where a horse’s body, desperate for calcium, actually steals it from its own bones.

🐴 The "big head" appearance is caused by the body replacing bone mineral with soft, fibrous connective tissue, which makes the facial bones (specifically around the nasal bone and upper jaw) appear swollen.

🐴 In the past, it was called "Bran Disease" or "Miller’s Disease" because it was commonly seen in horses fed high-bran diets by flour millers.

🐴 Only about 5–10% of horses affected by the underlying calcium deficiency ever show the dramatic facial swelling. Often, the first sign is a unexplained, shifting lameness or, unfortunately, a broken bone.

🐴 It is frequently caused by grazing on tropical or sub-tropical grasses (like Setaria, Kikuyu, and Buffel grass) that are high in oxalates. These oxalates bind to calcium in the gut, preventing the horse from absorbing it.

🐴 Symptoms typically develop after 2 to 8 months of grazing on high-oxalate pastures.

🐴 While the facial bones can return to normal, it can take 4 to 12 months of specialised dietary treatment (usually high-dose calcium supplements like calcium carbonate or lucerne) for the bones to fully re-mineralise.

🐴 Young, growing horses are more likely to develop the dramatic swollen facial look because their bones are still developing, while older horses may only show signs of stiffness or joint pain.
