About Us
Rose Flats Equestrian is focused on breeding quality warmbloods that are well cared for & handled right from birth. The property was set up to ensure the best possible start to their lives and ridden careers by having a relaxed environment for them to grow in, safe paddocks, and a top quality arena to prevent unnecessary wear and tear caused by substandard surfaces.
Ever since the Kaukapakapa property was purchased Rose Flats Equestrian has been planning towards offering rehabilitation services. They understand that an inevitable part of owning horses is that occasionally they can get injured and many owners don't have the facilities for it or simply don't have the time to put into some rehab programmes, especially when box rest is required. Rose Flats Equestrian is here to take the stress away offering a top class facility where your horse can recover and help get you back on track better than before.

Georgia Sheard
Georgia has been around horses for most of her life and begun show jumping when she was 14 years old with her pony Phantom Warrior. She competed successfully up to Pony Grand Prix and has since been more focused on producing younger horses and competing up to Amateur Rider height.
Georgia is proud to be capable of handling all aspects of the breeding operation right from getting the mares pregnant, through to foaling them down onsite and handling the foals.
Georgia believes it's important that horses are strong and well in their body to ensure optimal performance. This led her down the track of setting up for rehabilitation after past difficulties with previous horses struggling to progress due to weaknesses.
