Natalie was lucky to find two fabulous sponsors in Phil and Mary Hockney who bought Nat her first star, Billy Barthgate, just after she left school. A couple of years later the twosome were to win the 1999 Adelaide 3DE**** when Nat was just nineteen. More recently Natalie has made her way into Australia’s eventing elite, with the grey Thoroughbred, Algebra, with whom she was fourth at Adelaide in 2011.
