Rider, Groom and Manager

I have always been around and riding horses since I was three years old, I come from a showing background and production of youngstock. I have also had experience with breeding as we had two colts ourselves and bred them with some of our top showing mares. I've also worked on a stud previously that produced sport horses for all disciplines, within that role I had sole charge of the yard and management of the horses when the owner was away. I have my own yard myself where all my current showing stock are stabled. In regards to the young horses ready for backing and breaking I have backed ponies since the age of six and have continued to do so throughout the years going on to horses, I'm also very comfortable in handling fit stallions. I can groom exceptionally well and can prep a horse for a show or showcase occasion, I have skills such as bandaging, clipping, trimming and pulling. Management of a yard comes naturally as I've been lucky enough to have my own.

• Produce of Youngstock
• Management of Yard

I can school horses for all disciplines but my preferred disciplines are show jumping, showing and race schooling, I can handle green or difficult rides Backing and Breaking young fit horses is also no problem as I'm very experienced in that field of work. I have also experience in riding point to point racehorses on the gallops and out on the hunting field whilst also retraining racehorses aswell. In the winter I'm a frequent hunter and regularly attend hunt meets from main season and cubbing.

I show at Local, County and National level including qualifies and championships, my current yard of youngstock have all won a youngstock class individually and have some have qualified for more than one championships as yearlings, proving that my understanding, training and management of youngstock and showing is capable to reach the top level. I'm very proud of my achievements as many of my previous horses and ponies have qualified for championships in England and Scotland.
