- Currently live in the UK as a student. I am looking to take a gap year in the UK or abroad (pref. France) gaining experience as a rider and groom. I would like the opportunity to bring my gelding to gain experience for our competitive future.
Qualifications
First Aid Qualification
Duties of Current Occupation
I am currently a full time student, starting my 2nd and final year studying an extended diploma (sport) and 2 a-levels (psychology an politics) at school. I balance attending school, caring and exercising my competition horse.
Equine Work Experience
I started riding at 5 years old before pursuing competitive gymnastics for 9 years. At 11 years old I began riding again and loaning various ponies. I spent 2 years showing gaining numerous wins and 2nd at a championship show. In 2016 I bought my first horse (Beast) to continue my passion of showjumping and eventing. I spent the first year and a half reschooling and calming my hot headed but extremely talented horse. I have then continued showjump, hunt, event and school (currently working towards elementary level dressage (UK) ). I have trained with Rob Waine, Caroline Moore, sharing a lesson with a 4* event horse and rider and other highly accredited coaches. I have previous groom and yard experience, working on a yard of roughly 16 horses with one other individual (reference available). I have groomed at county level showing, affiliated showjumping and dressage.
Type of Ride Work
From my current equine experience I believe I am able to ride sharp, inexperienced horses with a sympathetic yet confidence giving approach. I have also been given rides on a PSG dressage horse, where I gained valuable insights into riding new movements, helping me to fine tune my riding and apply new skills to less established horses.
