Georgina Rose's blog: Finally something to talk about other than snow!

At last I can write about something other than snow! The horses are now all back in work, and I am starting to see the 'light at the end of the tunnel' with Januray out of the way and only Febuary left as the only real wintery month remaining

Merlin, our 16 yr old, is contuning to produce some brilliant jumping work, and I have every confidence that it is purely down to the Joint and Respiratory Power we have had him on. I've never been able to do as much with him as I'm doing now in the 5 years we have owned him; when the sun comes out I will make sure to take some photos and show you his transformation!

Penny is loving being back in work, she thrives on exercise and I think was quite relieved to have something to do. I'm aiming her at a Winter League Qualifier in mid feb as long as the weather holds, and then its looking towards the hunter trial season beginning in March which I am really excited about as she is really on song so far.

Having just turned 4 (ahh) our little NF gelding, Wally, is continuning to impress in his attitude to everything, being just as level headed as he was before all of that time off! His schooling is coming along nicely, and he is now hacking happily around the farm again. I hope to introduce some polework back into his routine again soon, with the intention of jumping him come spring in preperation for sale.

My new business, Rose Equine, is off to a flying start this month as everything starts to happen now the weather has given us the opportuntiy! We have completed fencing a new paddock in readyness for new horses, had alot of interest regarding lessons, so now just waiting to start buying stock in and we're away!

This month I have also had my first two driving lessons, and all I can think about is passing my test so I can get started on a horsebox!

After being an agent for Organic Horse over xmas, I have continued to advertise the products and have had alot of interest - I have sent several people catalogues so hopefully more satisfied customers! I cant wait to see the Organic Horse Squad jackets , and am looking forward to sporting them out and about in the upcoming season - theres lots to look forward to, so roll on spring!
