Duties of Current Occupation
I have worked at dressage yards in Italy and the UK and as a riding instructor in a Camp in the US. I also worked as a horse guide in South Africa and trained the horses to be safe for beginner riders.
Equine Work Experience
I have worked at a dressage yard in 2022 for 6 months where I mucked out stables, cleaned tack, fed the horses, groomed horses, handled horses - leading them, picking their feet, grooming them, washing them, putting on rugs, fly masks or fly hats and boots, lunging them and tacking them up for me or my employer. Also learned to bandage, tacking up to a high standard. I have also been shown how to clip horses but have not yet clipped them myself. Treated many horse injuries or sickness. I am reliable and have a lot of experience working alone and being in charge of many horses. I have experience training horses that have not been in contact with people most their life.
Specialities
I grew up on a farm with horses. I also took an online course to help me learn more about their behavior and how to train them. I helped hand raise a foal this year, worked with stallions. Been the sole caretaker of about 20 horses. I learned to ride a horse on my own by the time I was 5 years old. I often go hacking on our farm and I worked at a dressage yard for 6 months where I had riding lessons every day.
Type of Ride Work
I have been going on hacks with our horses since I was about 5 years old. I had dressage lessons every day for 6 months. I have ridden many problem horses like spooky horses and horses that buck often. I have experience with starting our horses on the farm. I have experience riding unpredictable horses and training them. Can trot, canter and gallop confidently. I have experience riding in arenas with other riders or going out in the field.
Competition Details
I have been to competitions as a dressage groom. Where I would groom, tack up, wash, and assist the rider in taking boots of and taking the whip. I would also feed the horses and give them water to drink.
