Bio
Started riding when I was 8 years old, at a riding school in Sweden. I soon started competing in dressage and show jumping. I have accumulated 27 years of experience with horses, working as a trainer in Morocco, Greece, Sweden, Ireland and Germany.
Qualifications

Some years ago I was riding in a "special training group" at my local riding school for two years. That special group consisted of up to 6 persons, each one of them specially selected depending on their skills and ability to advance, specializing in either show jumping or dressage. I choose dressage. I am a competent rider with a gentle hand and an enormous love for horses.

Duties of Current Occupation

All of the regular work that a stable need but last years my main focus have been on training horses, with other people handling the day to day cleaning and work of a stable. I have a special affection for horses other people deem tricky.

Equine Work Experience

I started at a riding school in year 1999 and I have been involved with horses ever since. I would spend everyday after school taking care of horses and riding them. Some days I could have 4 horses to ride on the same day, and that at an age of about 13 years. Quite quickly I moved up in the levels of riding groups that excisted and I started competing in dressage and show jumping at the age of 11. Due to bad economy I had to give up riding school at the age of 16, but continued to take care, compete and train on private-owned horses in stables in Sweden. I got my basic training from one of the best in Sweden and although I have know both showjumping and dressage, dressage has always been closer to heart.

2010 to 2013 I lived and worked in a stable in Greece training horses for competitions and I also taught some riding lessons. I worked as a trainer in Morocco, Sweden, Germany and Ireland, with dressage being my specialty.

Specialities

I like working with troubled horses, and got at a young age the opportunity to ride and take care of several horses that were a bit different or had some kind of "trouble". They could be unruly, quite hostile or very nervous and easily scared. If then I would state any speciality I have it would be that I am gentle as a rider and I have tremendous patience.

I don't smoke and I'm a vegetarian. I am also a member of The British Horse Society.

Type of Ride Work

I have been involved in mostly dressage but also show jumping. I've handled a few "problematic" horses over the years because of my ability to keep calm when the horse is not. A lot of time I've been taking care of private owned horses as a horse keeper.

I speak fluent Swedish, Greek and English and I'm currently living in Sweden although I have been living in Greece, Ireland and the UK as well.

Competition Details

I've competed both in dressage and show jumping. I started young at my local riding school and due to me moving away I stopped with the competitions and have since then trained others horses. I would like to start competing again if the opportunity should present itself.
