My passion for horses and traveling has brought me growing experience in trail riding, endurance riding, guiding and stable care.

From a very young age, I was introduced to horses in South Africa, where my mum grew up on a horse farm. This early exposure gave me a natural confidence around horses and shaped the foundation of my equine skills. Over the years, I've worked with a wide range of horses, especially forward-going Arabians and mixed-breed sport horses, gaining experience in both training and daily care. In South Africa, I worked as a groom at Ruqua Arabian Horse Stud, where I trained and exercised competition-fit Arabians and completed two 40 km endurance rides as a novice. I also assisted during the 2024 National Endurance Ride in Fauresmith, supporting horses through feeding, cooling, rugging, conditioning and race-day routines. | later spent nine months at Equus Silvania in Romania as a backup guide, rider and farm helper. I guided week-long mountain trails of around 200 km, exercised horses through hacking and lunging, and handled stable duties such as tacking up, grooming, treating small wounds.
