Equine Work Experience
I am currently working as Head Groom/Rider at Hyperion Equestrian Centre (large mixed livery yard)
I started by volunteering at a riding school at the weekend when I was 10. Over time I progressed to working there part time while I studied for my GCSEs and A levels and in the holidays while I was at university.
After uni, I decided to follow my passion and work with horses. I have since completed Level 2 and Level 3 Horse Management with Riding apprenticeships through Haddon Training.

Type of Ride Work
I have ridden a wide range of horses from happy hacking cobs, riding club level all rounders, dressage horses competing at PSG, just off the track ex race horses. I am very confident exersising horses out hacking or schooling. I have show jumped and done cross country at riding club level. I have competed dressage at BD Elementary level. But never had the time and money to get out consistently.
