Turkish Ministry of Sports certified coach (awaiting Equestrian Federation specialized course).

Duties of Current Occupation
Mucking out, deep grooming, feeding, tacking up, and lunging. Highly experienced in handling high-strung ex-racehorses and safely leading energetic horses for long hours during busy weekends. I take pride in the heavy physical routines of a yard.
Equine Work Experience
My practical journey is built on pure grit, now elevated by official coaching methodologies. I possess unbreakable physical and mental endurance, capable of managing highly resistant horses for hours or drilling stirrupless canters extensively. My greatest asset is instinctual crisis management. During a severe emergency where a spooked horse broke a tie ring and dragged a heavy wooden fence, I instinctively jumped onto the moving fence to stabilize it, stopping the horse safely while ignoring my own injuries to prioritize the horse's calm state. I offer extreme emotional regulation, a true horse-first mentality, and the pedagogical understanding required to implement safe, progressive training.
Specialities
I specialize in crisis de-escalation, behavioral rehab, and gaining the absolute trust of traumatized horses. When a horse panics, my heart rate drops. I recently rehabilitated a highly defensive English gelding in 14 days using precise micro-timing and trust-based groundwork. I thrive in chaotic yard environments, acting as an unshakeable anchor for the herd to maintain order. I prioritize the horse's physical and mental well-being above all else, ensuring safety under pressure.
Type of Ride Work
Experienced in flatwork and behavioral rehab of high-strung ex-racehorses. Highly secure, independent seat; frequently sprinting/cantering without stirrups. Excellent balance during sudden spooks. I am a true 'blank canvas'—free from stubborn habits, boasting immense stamina, and eager to be molded into your specific discipline within an elite EU system.
Competition Details
I do not currently have competition experience, as I have dedicated my time to mastering biomechanics, understanding the equine mind, and proving my physical endurance in the yard. However, I am fiercely competitive with myself and possess an unwavering drive to execute tasks flawlessly. I am fully prepared mentally and physically to handle the intense pressure and high standards of a professional competition yard, and I am eager to be trained to your exact grooming standards.
