Equine work experience
I have been around horses ever since i was tiny! I have ridden horses of all shapes and sizes! My mother and i have bred foals of which i have seen the whole foaling down procedure. I have worked in racing yards for experience and exercising hunt horses. The horses all vary completely however i am confident and i know i am able to control a situation to a high standard is a incident is to occur.
Specialities
My mother has run a livery yard for the previous 13yrs, with success and happy clients. Small and friendly, when someone comes they never leave. Since the age of 14 i have been asistting in everyway, i have learnt all the routines of how a livery yard can and should be run. I have been around horses ever since i have been born, my mother never went without a horse! I have a passion to work with them and to help others. I am a confident easy going appoachable person, also have selling experience.
Type of ride work
I own a spirited ex racehorse who i compete frequently and is soon to be affiliating- he is easily rushed and i like to let each horse work in its own way, rush a horse and it will only fight. He is showjumping 1.20m courses at home with ease. I have a good repuation for being calm sypathetic yet firm. I enjoy bringing on horses and rehabilitating horses which are under weight, muscled or just green. I am also confident schooling a horse for flatwork and getting a horse well established.
Competition details
Compete most weekends, and attend clinics frequently, would like to compete more however my hobbie of bringing on horses currently consists of much greener horses so i have yet to affiliate.
