I completed the first year of my course - Equine Management Level 3 at Shuttleworth College.

Currently work at pre train race yard, Tacking up, riding, grooming, turning out, mucking out, putting horses on the horse walker, lunging depending on the horse. 2nd year of study at Shuttleworth College Level three equine management.

I have worked at a pre training race yard for 18 months and I continue to do so. Prior to this I was working at a riding school, I worked there for 2 years on weekends and during the week. During my first year at Shuttleworth college I went on a work experience placement to Wimpole and I worked with the shire horses for 2 weeks.

I have worked with race horses aged between two to seven years old. I work to a high standard and keen to learn. I like to work in a clean and tidy yard. I have also worked at a riding school where riders range from beginners to varsity university level and also junior and senior pony club. I am polite and courteous, I will always put the horse and clients needs first.

I regularly ride at the pre training yard during the week and on weekends, depending on the horses in work and the number of riders available. This is made up of hacking, occasional flat lessons and cantering (dependant on the horse’s). I have had riding lessons since I was 11 years old which I still continue now, twice a week. These are mainly dressage with the occasional jumping lesson. My college course includes riding a lesson once a week which are primarily flat sessions.
