Rodney Schick | Magic Millions
By Kit Gow/TTR AusNZ
A tragic accident occurred on the Schick family’s property near Cambridge, New Zealand on Sunday. Rodney Schick, managing director of Windsor Park Stud, was critically injured in an ATV accident. Roddy and Gina’s 10-year-old son, Jimmy, sadly lost his life. Two other children were also injured.
Windsor Park Stud has long stood as one of New Zealand’s most respected breeding operations. The Schick family has been generous with their time, their knowledge, their leadership and their support of others in the industry. They are widely admired and deeply woven into the fabric of New Zealand racing.
In recent weeks, Roddy Schick and the team at Windsor Park Stud have continued in their usual way, quietly and characteristically, to put others first. Through the donation of a Profondo nomination and the Rugby, Racing and Beer Yearling Sale in Christchurch, more than NZ$30,000 has been raised for causes including the NZ Horse Ambulance Trust, Hato Hone St John, the Child Cancer Foundation and the Higgins Family Trust, supporting the family of the late Amanda Higgins.
Roddy remains in a critical condition. He and his family are firmly in the thoughts and in the hearts of the racing community around the world as we pray for his recovery.
