Specialities
Optimising fittness as I truely believe that produces best results. Natural affinity with horses. Intuitive, meticulous and thoughtful. Happy working in a team or sole charge. I have show jumped, enjoyed working hunter classes, hunted, cross-country etc. Keen to broaden skills perhaps in dressage, or perhaps with foals and yearlings. Perhaps carriage driving. Adaptable. Flexible.
Type of Ride Work
Develop existing skills and discover new ones. I am looking for an English yard in Central France for freelance/part-time. Happy to come for a trail. Making time to know each horse, their different temperaments, apptitude to ensure best results for competing horses Long relaxed fun hacks. Rural location essential. Post and rail fencing preferred. Fit happy horses but any friendly quality yard is ok. Dressage and showjumping, showing and carriage driving. Hunting yard also considered.
