I do not have any equestrian qualifications as I did an insurance apprenticeship from school and remained at the company thereafter.

Speaking with a variety of different clients, discussing their business/commercial needs. Recommending and providing advice on insurance policies they need. Going through start to finish organising these with them. Building client relationships.

I’ve not worked at a equestrian stables before, however I have owed my own horses for the last 15 years and previously loaned ponies.

Growing up I have completed a large variety or stable duties and looking after the DIY yards we have been at. Including general tidying, weeding, racking the school, poo picking, fixing fences, unblocking drains, whatever it may be I’d help to fix it.

I’ve helped back two ponies, I’ve been the rider whilst my old instructor has directed the process.

Currently we have two stallions at our stables, one of which since a foal. I have handled them both and I’m aware of their nature, however I do not have experience with stallions that are a handful.

High standards of my work. Strive for perfection.

My mucking out is very clean and tidy, I am very tidy including the stable, yard, organising tack room and rugs and stacking the muck heap.

I have ridden a variety of horse and ponies. The majority were problem, young or green ponies as my instructor was often called to help with these situations and I would ride them under his direction. Of course with my own initiative as well. Again this includes the two ponies backed. Currently I have my own horse who I ride, I have had him since he was 3 and he is now 14. My main passion is show jumping and cross country however I have also been hunting and completed sponsored rides.

I have competed at local shows many of times however i have not been an organiser or involved with any competition yards. Horses have always been in my life and a passion and I would love to work with them as my career.
