  • SlashingKeeps growth even, knocks back weeds and seed heads.
  • AeratingOpens compacted ground so water and roots get in.
  • IrrigatingWater where and when the pasture needs it.
  • FertilisingFeeds the soil so the paddock carries your horses.

Subscription

One programme, one team.

Our own tractor and attachments, run by the same people who care for the paddocks at Reid Farm. Tell us your acreage and how many horses it carries and we'll put a programme together.

About us

Reid Farm Co is Shannon and Gavin Reid, on our farm at Sutton, NSW, just outside Canberra, since 2021. It's home for us, our son Walter and our horses.

Gavin works in construction and runs the tractor: seeding, slashing, aerating, irrigating and fertilising. Shannon leads Forelock, our horse and stable management app. She's a lifelong horse owner with a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science and more than a decade in coaching and health.

We're practical people who hold a high standard. If we say we'll do it, it gets done properly.
