Equine Work Experience
I have gained practical equine experience through many years of working with horses. My experience has included schooling, lunging, foaling, handling stallions and young stock, grooming to a high standard, show turnout, medicating, tack fitting, loading, towing, yard management, field maintenance, and supporting good horse welfare standards. I am comfortable working independently or as part of a team and always aim to provide careful, reliable care while continuing to learn and improve my skills and knowledge.
