Duties of Current Occupation
Work rider at Olympia Estate, riding a variety of different horses
Equine Work Experience
I've been riding since the age of six, and due to never owning my own horse I have experience both riding and handling a variety of different horses and ponies.
Type of Ride Work
I have experience schooling flatwork, showjumping, and cross country. My most recent work riding job included schooling two green ponies for sale, as well as showjumping and gridwork for competition horses as well as flatwork to improve rideability and keep the horses in peak condition. I also have experience exercise riding an endurance horse.
Competition Details
I have not been able to compete as much as I would’ve liked due to not having my own horse to take up the grades. I competed up to 90cm in inter school competition up to the age of 14. I Competed the young pony I was bringing on in training shows and had taken my last instructors horse to a couple of training shows. I plait and turn out my own horses.
