Equine Work Experience

I worked on a yard in Germany from February until August 2023. It was a riding school and also had private trekking days. I have spent 6 months in Co.Sligo on a yard with young,green horses and ponies which have been on to go to their new owners around Europe when they had been sold. There I was exercising ponies from 12.2 to 17.2 horses. I was taught the basics on clipping and willing and wanting to learn more. And plaiting the horses for their sales photos and competitions. Working in New Zealand for a huntsman with horses aged 4-10, 80% of them are TBs. I’m happy holding horses for the farrier, dentist, chiropractor, vet, physio.
