Equine Work Experience
In my previous roles in the equine industry I have attained a variety of experience. This includes working at an international dressage yard with top competitions horses training and competing successfully up to Grand Prix. I have also worked at an international polo yard for a polo season in which we worked to a fast and professional pace. My experience also includes private livery yards, having my loan horses and working at riding schools such as Wellington Riding in Hampshire as a groom on both the livery & riding school yards.
I have also studied at Merrist Wood college attaining top grades of DDD* (triple distinction +) and have a good knowledge of anatomy, physiology, behaviour, stable management and many other topics covered in my two year level 3 BTEC qualification. I came to Dorset to take this education to the next level at Kingston Maurward however the course was not suited to me as I thrive in a more practical environment with a focus on natural horsemanship.

Competition Details
My experience is mostly as a groom providing excellent preparation and assistance to horses and riders competing, also being a steward for many years as a teenager gave me a lot of valuable experience. Maintaining welfare after competition is also something I have great experience in. I have competed myself in a handful of pony club events, unaffiliated dressage and unaffiliated showjumping with youngsters and inexperienced horses.
