Duties of Current Occupation
Daily horse care: grooming, mucking out, feeding and general yard duties. Preparing horses for training and competition, tacking up and untacking, washing and cooling down horses, cleaning tack and equipment, organising competition gear, plaiting.
Equine Work Experience
a background in riding and horse care, as well as experience grooming at national competitions. I’m comfortable with both daily yard work and competition environments and I’m keen to continue learning from experienced professionals. I’m reliable, practical, happy with early mornings and long days, and open to both home groom and travelling/show groom roles. I am also currently working towards obtaining my truck driving licence. I rode for approximately eight years before stopping after an injury. I am healthy,able and interested in returning to riding, although I would currently consider myself rusty and would need time to rebuild my fitness, strength and riding skills. During my teenage years I also assisted at an eventing yard, gaining experience with everyday horse care and yard routines. More recently, I have worked as a groom at national-level competitions, including preparing and caring for horses before and after classes and supporting riders throughout competition days.
Specialities
I have a particular knack for working with nervous and sensitive horses and tend to build trust with them quickly. I’m also interested in photography and videography and would be happy to help with social media content, photos and videos alongside groom duties.
Type of Ride Work
Previous riding-school experience for 8 years, but I have been out of the saddle for several years. I am open to returning to riding, although I would prefer to rebuild my skills with proper instruction before taking on regular exercise riding.
Competition Details
Experience working as a groom at national show jumping competitions in Lithuania, caring for and preparing horses throughout competition weekends and assisting riders before and after classes. Looking to gain experience at international competitions and progress further as a competition groom. This summer I’m working with the team led by national rider, Olympic show-jumper.
