Gina Schick

Disciplines:

Retraining & Rehoming Off the Track (OTT) Thoroughbreds

Horses:

Far too many to count - generally 15-25 Thoroughbreds plus 10-15 'residents'

How did you get started in your equine career?

I was a horse-crazy kid in a non-horsey family, & got my first pony at age seven. From there, it was Pony Club, eventing, trackwork, and eventually what I do now.

Gina loves to feed

Biggest Equestrian Accomplishment:

Starting up EventStars and building it to the level it is now.

What are your goals for the coming season?

Keep doing what we are and maintain some level of sanity!

The one horse to watch?

Hmmmm too many to pick from! Tim & Jonelle Price (in the UK) have two nice up and coming Thoroughbreds by Postponed who came through my yard.

Name Four People You Would Invite for Dinner

My husband Rod (as he's a great cook as well as sounding board), Nicky Wallace (fellow wine drinker and co-conspirator of Beyond the Barriers, we are always coming up with new ideas and plans!), and then because I'd best not be completely boring - the two laughable chaps who produce Wocket Woy!

Speaking of Dinner Can you Share a Horse Feeding Tip?

Muscle & Shine is my magic product - everyone is on various quantities of it and it never fails to put rapid improvement on a horse, both coat and condition.

What do you never leave home without?

My phone (and generally a child or 3!). So then - What is Your Number One Tip for Travelling Horses: Thoroughbreds are generally great travellers, having done plenty of it during their racing career - I have a lot who have flown over from Hong Kong too. I think plenty of fibre is important to keep their gut working properly so mine are always topped up before a long trip, e.g. if I'm sending one on a transporter to the South Island.

Can you tell us who/what inspires you?

I'm inspired by the horses - I love 'unwrapping' each new arrival and finding out what they're going to be good at. I'm also inspired by home time!

What is your favourite riding accessory?

A breastplate - I'm terrible at tightening girths and this is often my lifesaver - plus it's a great monkey strap when needed! You'll never see us saddle up a horse without a breastplate of some kind.

Do you have a good luck charm?

Spencer the world-famous-at-EventStars cat!
