I am not formally qualified yet, however, I have recently started working through BHS 1&2 qualifications with the long term view to keep progressing even further.

I started weekly riding lessons on ponies aged 7 in my home country of Finland and continued progressing in lessons for for eight years. I also attended residential 2-week summer riding camps where all aspects of horse care and stable management were also taught and where I was assigned responsibility for a specific horse. Aged 15-19 I had my own horse.

I moved to the UK aged 20 and have since continued with riding lesson and/or hacking every few months while I’ve been busy with children and a career in Marketing events and exhibitions.

Now, I’d like to pursue my lifelong passion for horses begin a second career in the equine industry.

I can perform all regular yard duties such as skipping/mucking out, tacking up, turning in, grooming, lunging etc etc. On horseback I am comfortable in all places and gaits, with or without saddle or stirrups and in all kinds of terrain, weather and situations - including hacking out, riding flat and some jumping.
