Equine Work Experience

I have been around horses for my entire life, growing up where I was fortunate to own and care for them. Over the years, I have gained extensive hands-on experience with horses of all ages and disciplines. One of my proudest achievements was purchasing a young horse, which I successfully brought on, and eventually evented him.This process taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding and that the hard work does pay off!

While I am currently studying law at university, which limits my ability to own horses at the moment, I remain deeply passionate about riding. I actively ride and still help others with their horses. I frequently receive requests from horse owners to ride and exercise their horses, ranging from youngsters to more experienced horses, and I’m comfortable working with a wide variety of horses.

Although my focus has shifted to academics, my love for horses remains, and I continue to ride regularly, using my skills to support.
