Georgina Birrell – Victoria
Discipline: Eventing
Where you are from: Geelong, Victoria
Who has influenced your passion for equestrian the most and why? I think it would have to be my late eventer Marlborough View. He wasn’t built like a conventional eventer but his temperament and trust in me took us to places I never imagined.
What has been your biggest riding-related accomplishment? To ride around the Adelaide Three Day Event on a horse I trained from a 3 year old.
What do you do to prepare yourself for competition? Making sure all my boxes are ticked and the preparation is done at home so there are no surprises at the competition. I do also have a pair of lucky orange Cross-Country socks!
What is your dream riding goal? To ride at a 5 star event.
Which is your favourite Johnson’s Natural Formula feed and why? It is hard to pick just one but the staple for my competition horses would be the Johnson’s Platinum Low GI. It is fantastic for building condition whilst being slow-release energy, so it doesn’t heat them up.
