veterinary nurse certificate (completed in Germany)

My main duties at my current job as veterinary nurse are assisting the vets with daily appointments and treatments, taking x-rays, scintigraphy and the general in-patience care.

I've worked at a thoroughbred racehorse stud in Australia for 2 seasons (total of 14 months). My daily work included organising and executing feeding of horses, treating injuries, application of medications and assisting the vet, farrier and chiropractor. During the foaling season I mainly took care of the pregnant mares and assisted with the foaling down as well as the handling of the foals. I also helped prepping the yearlings for the sales.

I am a very motivated and responsible person and I like to work together with different people therefore its easy for me to become a productive part of a team. I am used to long workdays, physical work and a confident and patient handling of horses is a matter of course for me.

I started riding at a young age and over the past years I’ve ridden a lot of different horses mainly dressage and show jumping horses but I’m open minded for different styles of horseback riding. At the moment I'm riding an eventing horse.
