Equine Work Experience
I have worked on several different yards including dressage, eventing and livery yards including an Olympic eventing yard.
I have worked with all types of horses including young fit competition horses, stallions and youngstock. I have been in sole charge of yards as well as being included as part of a team.
I complete all yard duties such as mucking out, schooling, hacking out, grooming, clipping as well as turning out to a high standard. I have ridden high level horses and have been tasked with schooling and fitness work such as hacking to galloping.
I have vast experience of working at events and am able to turn out to a high standard whilst being time aware and working efficiently. I have experience of this with multiple horses as well as high profile events such as Event Rider Masters, 4* eventing and BD Championships.
Specialities
I have worked in eventing most of my equine career however would be keen to learn more disciplines.
Type of Ride Work
I have ridden event horses who are at Olympic level. This included schooling, hacking and gallop work. I have also ridden everything in between such as 4 year olds learning their trade. I am a confident rider who doesn’t mind a tricky horse. I have been complimented on being a quiet rider who is happy to work through issues and build rapport with the horses I am working with. I have my own quirky 5 year old warmblood who I have developed from just being backed to competing in his first shows.
Competition Details
I have competed myself in BD however I have mainly been assistant show groom. I have attended Eventing up to 4* and assisted with the prep and cool down of multiple horses in attendance. I have also been assisting in the packing of the lorry and prepping of the horses.
