Qualifications
The specialty that I have is that I know how to take sales photos and videos of horses for sale as I was, a few years ago, photographing dressage and show jumping competitions and other major events such as Vienna Masters, Jumping Amsterdam, Stud Farm Lipica, etc. I also train horses at liberty and love to build a relationship with a horse till a point I can ride him bridleless.
Equine Work Experience
Started riding and working with horses when I was 12, want to expand my knowledge in dressage riding, especially from professionals in this niche, so hence I would like to find a job in a dressage stable. I am experienced with working with all types of horses (foals, young horses, stallions, "problem" horses") as I was professionally working with clients, training and rehabilitating clients' horses for 8 years. In 2015 I worked in Dubai for a month in a stable with Arabian horses and then I moved to Belgium with my own horse for 9 months where I worked in one dressage stable. I am a very kind, friendly, and highly motivated person, with a good feeling for horses and a precise eye for detail. My biggest wish is to learn how to ride more advanced movements such as piaffe, passage, flying changes, etc. on experienced horses, so I can get a feel for each movement as I've never ridden and trained at such a level.
Specialities
Groundwork, working with horses with behavioral problems, horses that are spooky, don't want to load into a trailer, can't stand still during mounting, etc. I also have experience working with dangerous and aggressive horses as well as stallions, due to their bad past experiences and traumas. Since I've been a horse owner for 10 years I know how to set up fences around the pasture, muck out, prepare the grain, hay, and keep an eye on the changes in a horse's body and behavior (colic, injuries..)
Type of Ride Work
I have experience in starting young horses in such a way that horses never buck, rear, or show any dangerous behavior when first ridden. I've successfully and safely started many young horses thanks to my unique groundwork method where I build trust and respect with a horse from day one when first meeting and starting to work with them. Building a relationship with a horse always comes first for me as I know that's the only way both I and the horse feel safe in each other's company.
