Level 2 Equine Management - Distinction Star BHS Ride Safe Pony Club Qualification D+ (my riding school stopped offering them over covid and then I went to college)

Volunteered on village farm since age 12, looking after all animals, but especially their two ponies, one of which I now own since the farm closed down. I now help to look after other people’s horses when needed, feeding, grooming, mucking out etc.

Two weeks work experience on Anthony Clark’s Eventing Yard. Six years working with ponies in village farm. One year paid work looking after other people’s horses when required. Riding since 2019. I have some experience in the following: Lungeing, Plaiting, Bandaging, Exercising, Riding, Schooling.

Whilst I’m not sure I have any specialities, I have transformed two wild welsh mountain ponies into two well-behaved and tame ponies. I achieved this through gentle handling and taking time to build their trust.

I have not ridden professional horses before. I have done flatwork, jumping and some cross country and hacking.

I spent two weeks doing work experience on Anthony Clark’s eventing yard, and accompanied him to two competitions. I took part in all aspects of the yard during this time.
