Grooming up to 11 horses a day from 8am until 7pm, riding client horses as well as having my own horse. Frequent grooming at national and international competitions. Tack cleaning and keeping general organisation, as well as handling younger horses.

I started riding when I was 14, taught by natural horse trainer Sarah Simmons who I ended up being an apprentice and assistant for the year before heading to a Riding school where I prepared horses to be hacked out by clients, rode and exercised the naughty horses, mucked out their stalls and turned out in the field as well as owning my own horse. I then moved to Italy with my family where I found a top class Showjumping yard ran by Jane and Ignance Philips where I was one of the head grooms for the home rider and also groomed for frequent Showjumping competitions. There I also learnt to Showjump who I would compete on he was given to me at a knock down price because of my potential to win, I was working 10 + hours a day helping work and groom up to 13 horses a day in addition to caring for my own as well as living away from home.

I a dedicated loyal and hard working young rider, I can speak fluent Italian, I am great with both people and horses, I have competed at high level shows and won with a horse who was given to me at a knock down price because I was good publicity. I can also groom to a top level standard. I am ambitious and have a strong work ethic, with hard worked hours and good experience under my belt I reckon I would be a great addition to your team :)
