I have a level diploma in horse care and welfare from Writtle College.
I am open to gaining some new qualifications to strengthen my equestrian background further!
Although I have no teaching qualifications I think I give great advice from experience when helping those with ridden work.

Duties of Current Occupation
I am currently working at a veterinary practice temporarily while finding my perfect equestrian role. I currently monitor and answer incoming calls regarding queries and booking appointments. I also work at desk arriving clients.
Equine Work Experience
I have always loved horses and began to work with them from the age of 13 at my local riding centre.
I then studied horse welfare and management at Writtle College which I thoroughly enjoyed. Even throughout my office experiences I have always worked weekends as a groom. I have worked at very high standard yards such as diamond dressage where I learnt a lot in regards to competitive horses.
Last year I took a risk and started up my own livery yard which I absolutely adored and created such an amazing relationship with my liveries and horses there from all aspects of basic care to ridden work. Unfortunately the farmers have recently sold this plot of land so I am now looking for my new equestrian long term venture!
Specialities
I am an extremely clean groom who loves sweeping! I have experience in all types of areas in the equestrian world from foals to stallions and I am very confident in all areas of ground and ridden work with all types of horses.
I would say I am a quick and efficient worker and I pride myself on making a clean tidy bed when mucking out.
I currently own an 11 year old welsh 15h cob whom I compete with regularly who have owned for 7 year & also own a 2 year old colt who I rescued last year!
Type of Ride Work
I am a very confident rider and have no fear what so ever. I have experienced all kinds of ridden work from breaking young horses , schooling green and young horses to riding experienced Grand Prix dressage horses.
With my horse now I compete unaffiliated in eventing however I am looking to affiliate in dressage and show jumping.
I am my happiest when I am riding as it is my passion!
Competition Details
I have worked at Diamond Dressage which is a hard for very high level range of dressage horses. My jobs here were basic day to day duties to being a personal groom preparing them for shows.
I have also worked as personal groom for the Butchart family ranging from preparing for dressage - show jumping!
