Long Grass can mean ticks and snakes. Please keep dogs on lead unless working. During breaks, you are welcome to give dogs off leash time in the grass arena.
The Southern Highlands is paralysis tick area, there is often areas of long grass on the farm. Hot days also mean snakes could be out and about. We have never had one in the grass arena but be alert while walking dogs.
The grass arena and indoor are the only off leash areas.
