Working in a team and independently, customer service, problem solving, time keeping, sole charge, care, teaching

I currently have my own 8 year old ISH gelding, I backed and produced him myself. I have previously assisted in backing and breaking privately, this has included both ponies and horses, freelance groom work and freelance yard work through word of mouth, this has included doing all stable chores, exercising horses and maintaining of land. I have recently been assisting in a riding school where I'm currently a livery, during this time I have assisted in teaching and aiding both young and adolescent children through all aspects of their riding career, both with their own or borrowed ponies. Previously I've worked full time at two riding schools, both of which I taught, in one of these roles I also specialised in teaching special needs.

Working off of my own initiative. Outgoing with a good sense of humour. Team work, team building and approachable. Experienced with young and green horses both ridden and on the ground. Light experience in turnout and showing, experienced with young and adolescent children around and riding horses, this includes arranging and leading out my own hacks with 1-4 children at a time and leading from the ground with younger children. Management of fields/turnout and stabling.

I’ve ridden all types of horses in many different disciplines. Predominantly hacking, flat work, Cross Country and lower level jumping. I’ve brought on multiple green horses and broken my own gelding alongside others. I’ve done a couple of hunts, but unfortunately in the last few years haven’t had the opportunity too due to our bloodhounds discontinuing. I've ridden all sizes of horses and ponies in various disciplines. I have re-backed and produced two of my own horses to sell.
