I’m confident handling horses in the stable and out in the field, including catching, leading, grooming, feeding, mucking out, and saddling/tacking but eager to learn and improve my skills. I have ridden Quarter Horses in western tack (mares and geldings). I enjoy learning and improving my horsemanship, whether in groundwork or riding. I’m reliable and a quick learner. Alongside this, I bring strong people skills, a dependable work ethic, and a willingness to take on varied tasks. I’m happy to get stuck in with stable, yard, and general farm duties, and I adapt quickly to new routines or challenges.
