I started my business with the vision for breeding good
enough horses to make the Olympics in eventing. After I
finished my year 12 exams, I was lucky enough to meet Phil
and Mary Hockney who bought Billy Bathgate for me and sent
me to train under Heath and Rozzie Ryan for two years.
During this time I went from being a pony club rider to almost
making the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Unfortunately Billy was
injured which put us out of the running. I then moved back to
Harden to ride, train and teach all I have learned under these
amazing riders and coaches.
With almost eight years of professional competition and
coaching experience under my belt, I am always trying to
improve myself for future competitions and improve my
coaching skills with the vision of becoming a NCAS level 2
instructor in the near future.

Feedback from Clients
Dear Nat
I am writing to let you know how much Bill and Leonie enjoyed the
clinic they did with you at Harden. They both got so much out of the cross
country session and they also learned new things in both dressage
and showjumping. Your encouraging, no pressure approach meant they could
work at the level at which they were comfortable, but with expert
supervision.
We also greatly appreciate the way your interest does not stop at the
end of a clinic. You have always been willing to give help and advice
when we see you at competitions.
I would recommend your clinics to riders at all levels.
Kind regards
Sandra Noble

Natalie Blundell has been an extremely important member of the Black Horse Manor team for several years now
as one of our main trainers and competition riders. Natalie performed a wonderful job with our imported
Spanish stallion, Galero XIV before injury forced us to retire him from competition and more recently Natalie
commenced training of our up and coming dressage hopeful, BHM Black Elegancia. We look forward to
continuing our partnership with Natalie and have no hesitation in recommending Natalie as a trainer, starter of
young horses and riding instructor.
