I started competing with horses about five years ago (at the tender age of 44) after retiring from rugby as it was time to have a more gentle sport, or so I thought!  However, as I cannot do things in a half hearted manner, I started to compete to have something to aim towards.

I was introduced to Naomi via a friend, Frances White, and was introduced to my first horse – Foolish Hero (Paddy) who was a ‘bin there, done it’ kind of horse and got me the t-shirt.  As I progressed, I moved upward and onwards to another Naomi find – my present ride, Bella Gioia (Raz) an intermediate eventer, who is now teaching me the ropes.  I have been doing so well, I am universally known as Roly Fox Pitt!

Since purchasing Raz from Naomi I have competed at Intro level and we moved up to Pre-Novice at the end of 2008.  My dressage and show jumping I have to work at, but since having Raz I have come on, however like most middle-aged blokes I enjoy the speed of the cross country best!

I can recommend Naomi to anyone looking for the right horse for their ability and ambition! She assessed my strengths and weaknesses correctly and found me the perfect horse in Raz.  My wife and I have also employed her to ride and bring one of our other horses, Drama Queen (Saoirse), which she has done very competently and I am now looking forward to competing Saoirse myself.

I met Naomi in 2007 and since starting training, I have obviously had the odd horse who does not make the grade for racing.  I am strongly of the opinion that racehorse should have another career after racing wherever possible.  Naomi has been instrumental in   re-schooling horses for me.  Having a background in throughbreds she understands their foibles and brings them happily and steadily to their next career.

Just got the DVD today and just found time to watch it!! I know Crystal is as honest as the day is long and the DVD certainly proves it, what a great kid Amy is. I will drop her an e-mail to tell her how much I enjoyed watching her and Crystal out 'doing'. We are going to jump cross this weekend and I am looking forward to that.

After purchase!

Crystal is a wonderful pony and we are having great fun together and I am glad you didn't manage to sell her to anyone else!! Crystal has been a little star with whatever has been asked of her and has settled brilliantly. I cured the walking off when getting on but now she doesn't want to move until she gets her sugar free polo! Out hacking with the traffic she is great in fact better than my daughters pony which I didn't think possible. We have done some flatwork and  Crystal is going to teach Charlie how to leg yield, its nice when you press the right buttons and it works!!
