I have completed a level 3 advanced extended diploma in equine management at Reaseheath college and came out with 3 merits.

I have had experience helping at a riding school for about 5 years, during this time I learnt all of the main yard duties as well as helping children and adults start to learn how to ride.

As well as this I have spent around 2 years helping at a horse rescue. Although I had all the same yard duties I also had chance to gain more knowledge by watching and talking to vets, farriers, physio’s etc, helped with backing young horses to prepare them for work, riding horses to keep them fit while they are looking for homes and getting horses ready for new homes.

Although I first started riding at a riding school I was given all types of horses to riding including horses that were quite green and some of the problem horses. While working at the rescue it has given me the opportunity to ride some ex racers and some young horses starting to enter work.

I have done a lot of flat work and jumping so far.
