I have a diploma in Level 1 Horse Care, and a diploma in Equine Psychology which I received a distinction for. I am currently doing an online course in equine nutrition, and I am studying Equine Reiki. I have an English GCSE and I am working towards my Maths GCSE.

I have been involved with horses for 10 years, but not solely in a professional environment. A lot of my experience has been training, exercising and caring for horses for other people to sell. I now have my own horse and I am developing my riding skills to the next level. I have experience in Natural Horsemanship and Parelli which I base my approach and handling off of. I attended Sirona Therapeutic Horsemanship where I got my Level 1 in Horse Care, then continued on to volunteer there for about 2 years.

I work hard to keep an organised and tidy yard, and keeping the horses content. I have experience in backing horses in and establishing them to a certain level. I have worked with a natural horsemanship trainer, and I approach all my work with horses with this ethos. I am a very calm and confident rider and always willing to learn and improve. I strive to have as much knowledge as possible in terms of keeping horses healthy in mind and body, and enriching their lives to their full potential.

The majority of my riding experience has been starting and exercising young horses and working with green/problem horses to get them to a point they can be sold on. I am now focusing on my jumping, and have started my education in dressage with my trainer. Currently I am schooling and hacking my own horse, attending fun rides, show jump hires and xc hires. I am also learning Natural Horsemanship riding techniques with another trainer.

I have competed in low level dressage competitions when I was about 14. My current house is very green so I have not yet competed with her but plan to enter some unaffiliated jumping competitions this summer, starting at 80cm. The owner of the yard I keep my horse at competes regularly and I attend these with her to help out.
