is Rocky being sold again ?She is a very good horse woman !!! he was sold not long ago,i know her horses very very well ! Please PM me for any questions
Rocky was lovely. Are you thinking of buying him? I had a soft spot for him and always grabbed him when I had choice of who to ride. Be nice to here how he is going!
I have known Natalie for 14 years and would like to show my support to her especially when someone should blatantly want to cause defamation of her character. She is a great sports woman, teacher and role model and treats her horses with great respect. I can only think that something has happened to Rocky since being purchased at his new home.
All I can say is, I wouldnt be where I am today in my Eventing career if it wasnt for the help, support and knowledge from Natalie.
Well said !!!!! The one that i feel sorry for now is poor Rocky,who is the real victim here.
Its always so easy to blame a poor innocent horse when it might be the saddle/owner causing a problem..POOR ROCKY !!!
To be fair to OP although Rocky is displaying completely out of character behavior, she has gone to great length's of having his a back xray, saddles fitted etc. You dont do all that if your not concerned about the horse.
And yep iv worked on alot of yards and Natalie is one of the nicest rider's I worked for.
Thank you for your comments. I think if you read the post carefully at no time did I "openly want to defimate" Natalies character. I was mearly asking the question on whether 1) had anyone bought from Natalie in the past? and 2) for those who seemed to know her horses well, what was their impression of Rocky? I don't believe I have asked anything out-of-order.
Thank you to those that have been supportive and have sent me the type of support and assistance I was hoping for (what I believe this forum is for). We all have trainers to thank for our riding careers, unfortunately I have to thank Kent Air Ambulance for putting me back together after my last ride.
No you did not ask anything out of order,but its your intention with the questioning that has been brought to out attention !!!
People that know Rocky will all say the same thing about him ! So why don't you just put it all behind you and get on with it !!!
