Competition Details
I’m still young so not had the chance to work on a competition yard yet but know a lot of the basics and I’m very willing to learn and adapt to the way things are done at any yard. Very able to do physical yard work and muck out well. I like to keep things very tidy and love working with horses and getting to know them. I’m very confident riding and would love that to be apart of the job as feel I’m able but also respect it’s their own horses so happy to comply with any yard owners preferences
