Horse services directory: Tasmania and beyond

I constantly have people ask me for contacts to find a good feed store, trimmer, horse dentist, chiropractor and more here in Tasmania, so I developed this page to provide that information. I will only recommend people I use or have heard very good reports about from people I trust.

These listings were compiled some years ago. Please check that a contact is still current before you call, book or travel.
