Equine Work Experience
I spent 17yrs growing up on an arabian horse farm in New Brunswick. The last 3yrs I spent on the farm I worked as the head stable hand in the full-time care of 45+ horses. From assisting the vet to holding for the ferrier, ect. I've handled horses of all ages and administered basic first aid. I got a job in British Columbia at a hunter/jumper stable. I worked there for a year as assistant to the barn manager for the general care of a 56 stall barn. When my job was over there I began working for one of the clients who boarded her horses at the farm. She owns a small animal vet clinic in Vancoyver. I worked there for 2.5yrs. Worked at a farm in Prince George after that I worked at a bird hospital. Moved on from the bird hospital to manage a farm and be caretaker for 1.5yrs while owners spent time in their California residence. I then went on to be a horseback trail guide in banff and then a show groom.
