Roseanne Fitzgerald

Another UK Pupil Roseanne Fitzgerald, here is her story in her words: 
After dreaming of qualifying for The Summer Regionals and never being able to, everything changed when I started training with Natalie. 

I then qualified every year at every level!  From Preliminary to Advanced Medium.  At the higher end I'm now very much with The Big Boys, but still manage to qualify and have got through the Advanced Mediums for the last three years running.  One huge achievement! 

 My horse and I were selected to represent England in 2008 at the Senior Home International, where teams competed against England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales, and I'm hoping to be selected again this year at PSG.

 We also have the so called "Amateur" classes sponsored by Pet Plan.  I have qualified for these every year too and have ridden, with placings, at their Finals twice, including PSG last year.

 Currently I've just started going out competing and hope to repeat my successes again for 2010!   In fact I was out on Thursday and was a  happy 3rd and again yesterday when we won ...... with a qualifying percentage, in a qualifying class, so only have one more to win and then we've qualified for the "Summers" again this year.. (I might add - the qualification has increased this year.  We now have to win 2 classes, one in a qualifier and the percentage minimum has risen!)   Without Nat's solid, consistent, clear and supportive training I know I wouldn't have progressed as far as I have done.

 So .... onwards and upwards as they say!
