I have volunteered at various equine yards in the past, which included helping out with all normal stable yard/livery duties including feeding and watering, mucking out and cleaning stables and yard, poo picking fields, grooming, putting rugs on/off horses and leading horses in/out of fields. I occasionally had the opportunity to help with tacking horses up or down.

I am looking for a local livery yard/stables to work at, where I can help out with all yard/stable duties while gaining new experiences (for example lunging) and refreshing the skills that I had previously built (mentioned in paragraph above).

I learned to ride at an equestrian centre for all ages when I was 14-16. I can walk, trot and canter well-behaved horses. After a long break from working with horses, I now occasionally pleasure ride (hack) horses at a local livery yard with a friend (the livery yard also provides a supervisor/guide to show us various routes through extensive parkland).

I would like to solidify my confidence in - and advance - my riding ability.
