I have recently studied to become an equine massage therapist where my education continues.

At the end of last year I undertook the training for the BHS Level 1 Care and Ride and BHS Level 2 Care, Ride and Lunge sections. I have undertaken the BHS stage 1 exam and passed.

I have a range of A-C GCSE grades which can been seen on my CV and also took various AS/A Levels which at school.

After school I attended college and have an NVQ in Hairdressing.

Sales, costing requirements, communicating with clients, reading of architect drawings and specifications

I have been involved with horses for nearly 20 years. I have ridden in various places; riding schools, a stud farm, hacking lessons, private riding and shows.

I have worked for various riding school from a young age in exchange for lessons. I have attended pony camps, shows, clinics (ridden and groundwork) and various other locations throughout the years.

I have also assisted at a family friend's stud farm close to home which included general yard duties and the introduction to the workings of a stud farm.

For the last few years I have focused more on my own horse around working full time in another industry and having private lessons. I have also started teaching a few of the liveries at my yard, one of which is my sister who has been bought her first pony.

I am more confident on the flat than over fences currently due to a car accident a few years ago which has affected me physically

I currently do a lot of schooling with youngster

I have competed at local, unaffiliated competitions only at this stage due to time and travel restrictions. I used to compete in showjumping and inland classes with my ponies/horses over the years.

Lately, I have been competing less and coaching my younger sister at shows/home preparation which has taken most of my time up.

At a younger age, I competed in the local summer camps at a riding school.
