Equine Work Experience

I've been around horses my whole life and have experience across all aspects of horse care and riding. I produce my own ponies and horses, riding and schooling a wide range including green, sharp, and quirky types. I've worked on both family-run and external yards, gaining strong skills in stable management, groundwork, and ridden work. I regularly volunteer with my local Pony Club, supporting instructors, helping younger members, and assisting at camps and fun days.

Specialities

I grew up on a stud farm and have lifelong experience handling foals, broodmares, and young horses. I've been involved in day-to-day care from a young age and have developed a calm, confident approach to managing different equine temperaments. I'm confident handling sharp and sensitive horses and take pride in presenting horses to a high standard. l've also led groups of younger riders through my Pony Club involvement and school prefect role, offering mentorship and support.

Type of Ride Work

I'm confident and experienced in a wide range of riding including flatwork, hunting, jumping, hacking, and schooling green horses. I regularly ride multiple horses a day and have produced young ponies from scratch. I enjoy building trust with each horse and adapting my riding style to suit their individual needs. I'm comfortable riding everything from steady schoolmasters to sharp or newly backed horses, and I aim to ride with patience.
