As a kid I grew up going to lessons but also started working in a stables where I grew up in the countryside. So cleaning and organising the stables, grooming and feeding the horses.

I'm comfortable cleaning horses hooves and doing everything except putting the equipment on them as I was never any good at getting them ready as a kid. I did always lead them back to the stable and untack them.

I was one of the stable hands, up to a point of holding guests horses reigns in group activities.

I always loved and did hacking the most, on those doing trotting. Cantering in the arena, has been a recent development.
