Duties of Current Occupation
Experienced in feeding, grooming, mucking out, turning horses out and bringing them in, preparing haynets, checking water, maintaining stables, handling youngstock and stallions, monitoring horse welfare and keeping yards clean, safe and organised.
Equine Work Experience
I have extensive equine experience through employment, practical training and owning my own horses. I have worked on busy livery and competition yards and at ARU Writtle’s Equine Training and Development Centre, caring for horses ranging from youngstock to stallions. My duties have included feeding, grooming, mucking out, turnout, general horse care and maintaining high welfare standards. I have owned and competed my own horses, giving me a strong understanding of daily management, riding and equine needs. I completed an internship in the Netherlands at an equine rehabilitation yard connected to a veterinary clinic, gaining valuable experience in rehabilitation and veterinary care. I have also worked alongside a veterinary surgeon, supporting a horse’s recovery following kissing spine surgery. My knowledge includes equine anatomy, biomechanics, injury management and rehabilitation. I have completed BHS Stage 2 Care and am passionate about horse welfare, dedication and safe handling.
Specialities
I have completed an Equine Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation degree and currently am studying a part-time Master’s degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy. I have experience working on a busy university equine yard, handling horses from youngstock to stallions, and completed an internship at a Dutch rehabilitation yard linked to a veterinary clinic. I've studied equine anatomy, biomechanics, rehabilitation and welfare. I have experience working with children of different needs and abilities.
Type of Ride Work
I have extensive ridden experience in dressage, showjumping, cross-country, flatwork, polework and hacking. I have ridden and handled stallions, worked with young horses during breaking-in and gained experience in behavioural training. I have developed horses' confidence, improved schooling and adapted training to suit individual temperaments and abilities. Owning and competing my own horses has strengthened my practical riding skills and understanding of horse training and development.
Competition Details
500 charachters I have competed in both dressage and showjumping, alongside working as a groom for a top rider, gaining valuable experience in competition preparation and horse care. I have also worked on a busy competition yard and a large university livery yard with over 50 horses, developing strong skills in daily management, organisation and maintaining high standards of care in busy equine environments.
