A fantastic month for Georgina Rose

Fantastic month! April saw Rose Equine off to a flying start selling all of our stock! Wally, the lovely little 4yo NF gelding that I broke last August, sold to a wonderful family on Exmoor where I'm told he will be enjoying lots of hacking and stag hunting which I can just picture him being brilliant at. Top Chianti, a well bred TB mare I bought in March, sold to a home in Bristol for showing and hacking as a first horse. At the beginning of the month I also bought a super 2yo roan NF type filly called Ruby- she sold in 2 days sight unseen to a fantastic home in Cornwall where in time she will be brought on for showjumping, so all in all a cracking start !

A successful month set us thinking about the next stage, which will (fingers crossed) be a small stable block and arena as well as additional land next September. It should mean I will be able to keep more stock through the winter, not to mention keeping the horses in fuller work through the wetter colder months so hopefully will allow us to be out and about competing much later on in the year!

One blot to a great month was Penny developing a cough just in time for a hunter trial, so decided it would be best to hold off. Bit of a mystery what brought it on, so I found the last of the Respiratory Power from winter feeding and dosed her up on that for a week - you'll be pleased to hear it worked a treat , so back in business and have some showjumping planned at Bluehayes next weekend weather permitting!

Also started my BHS Stage 2 training this month, going well so far so looking forward to moving onwards and upwards towards a teaching qualification. The exam is end of June.

With the competition season now well under way, and with the business off to a good start which will hopefully continue, I have started browsing for my own competition horse. I will never sell Penny, my jumping pony, but I am now looking the bigger model! Preferably 15-15.3hh for showjumping, planning to affiliate with right horse. Off to a sport horse sale in May, so who knows I may find my superstar yet!

Looking forward to May, Ive planned a packed few weeks of compeitions and sales so hoping our successful streak continues- and of course not forgetting Badminton Horse Trials, where I will be treating myself to some retail therapy!

Hope everyone has had a good month, and thanks to Organic Horses Respiratory Power for saving the day again!
