Georgina Rose finally gets out and about this month!

At LAST we have managed to get out and about this month! Despite the weather taking yet another turn for the worst, we have had a busy and successful March to begin the season.

Early on in the month we bought a lovely new horse, Top Chianti, a very beautiful 15hh 9yo TB mare by Komaite out of Top Yard. Although impeccably bred for racing, she is destined for stardom in the dressage world, her paces and way of going are fantastic! Still getting to know each other having had only a handful of rides in between the rain, but very pleased with her. She is for sale if anyone is interested, ideal show/dressage/broodmare or flashy hack! You can find more about her on my facebook page Rose Equine Sales.

Penny had a successful start to her competition season at the hunter trial in Pontispool. She was 6th out of over 60 entries in her class so delighted with that as neither of us had been out for nearly 5 months! She jumped an excellent quick clear (if a little over enuthusiastic at times!) so high hopes for April HT's now we've both warmed up a bit!

Wally, our 4yo New forest, along with Chianti will be for sale at Easter hopefully as soon as the ground dries up. Looking forrward to seeing him find a family of his own, but sad to see him go as he is the first one I have broken myself.

I saw Forest Farmacys advert for Clean Limbs Spray which seemed impressive, so I am considering zapping Merlins windgalls with it after hes worked hopefully making life a little more comfortable.

We have also been busy repairing the damage done by the winter to our fields, chain harrowing and fertisilising, but out hard work was quickly undone by the latest batch of rain so will be straight back on it when we get some better weather!

Im now looking forward to the upcoming competitions next month, fingers crossed for sunnier times! Planning to get Chianti out for some evening dressage at Pontispool before she is sold, so really excited about her chances there. I will also be starting my BHS Stage 2 training as well, so plenty to keep us busy!

All the best to everyone, hope you are all having a good start to the season,
