Hannah

I hold GCSE's from Davenant Foundation School including B's in maths, English and Science. I have 4 AS Levels and 3 A Levels, including Biology, from Davenant Foundation School. I have a distinction in FdSc Zoo Management from the University of Chester and am currently completing my BSc in Zoo Management from here, including completing an zookeeper exhibit design qualification. I hold a certificate of work experience from Care For Wild Rhino Sanctuary in South Africa.

I am in my final term of studying for my BSc in Zoo Management at the university of Chester. I have completed a training programme on a horse with tunnel vision and a dissertation project on social networks amongst wild and domestic equids.

I have been riding for 15 years, achieving my BHS Stage 2 within this time. I am both confident around horses and riding any type of horse or pony. I have experience riding both green and young horses. I have trained a pony as part of my university course and have in-depth knowledge of their behaviour. I have also completed a dissertation project on horse social networks, including carrying out behavioural observations of a group of domestic and wild horses. I have volunteered at Aldersbrook Riding School, where I learnt to ride, and at Barnfields Riding School. From this I am confident in completing general yard duties without guidance needed on the riding school and livery yard. I have also helped with the pony club, lead children in lessons and run pony rides for children as part of this volunteer work.

I am a hardworking and enthusiastic person, with experience working with a range of animals and completing multiple years of summer work with children. I am a team player who can use their initiative to complete any tasks given to me to the best of my ability. I am a dedicated person, having committed to learning the clarinet and saxophone throughout the past 12 years and learning to speak fluent French. I am a friendly and confident person who has always had a passion to work with horses.
