I am a full time home groom working on a showjumping yard. I am looking for a new position as a Head Groom/Yard Manager.

I learnt to ride at my local riding school from the age of 2, and then went on to riding other people's horses. I have owned my own horses, who I have schooled over the years. I spent some time living in Qatar where I had the opportunity to ride one of the Arabs at the racecourse. When I returned to the UK, I finished my Business Diploma and went on to study the Extended Diploma in Horse Management at Reaseheath College. I also completed my BHS Stage 1 exam. I ran my own business for a while providing a mobile groom service, but later decided to go into full time employment. I have previously worked for Pony Patch (children's pony rides and parties), Black Feathers (Horse drawn carriages), a groom at a riding school and as a Head Groom at a livery yard near Sheffield. I am currently working full time as a home groom on a showjumping yard.

I can pull, trim, clip, plait and turn out to a high standard. I can also lunge and long rein. Confident in handling stallions and youngstock. Ability to drive a 3.5 ton.

I am currently part loaning a gelding 1/2 days a week. I enjoy hacking, flatwork and groundwork. I love to show, either ridden or inhand.

I have competed unaffiliated inhand and ridden at various shows.
