Bio
With my daughter having completed her schooling, I am excited to begin a new professional chapter and to fully commit to work that aligns with my long-standing passion for horses, outdoor learning, and supporting young people. Delighted to discuss.Qualifications
LEAP Level 4 EFL (accredited by Crossfields Institute) - trains practitioners in ethically using horses for personal growth, focusing on skills like horsemanship, body awareness, boundaries, and group work, leading to either a practitioner Award or Diploma in the LEAP Method for self-development and coaching, distinct from therapy.

Equine Work Experience
Grew up on a farm in South Africa with daily horse care, handling, and stable management . Early riding experience across polocrosse, jumping, dressage, cross-country, and western disciplines (current interest in the Masterson Method). Strong understanding of horse behaviour, welfare, and safe handling. Started Equine studies in SA (did one year) but incomplete due to financial reasons. Post Covid completed my LEAP EFL Level 4. I'm now seeking a career change to be back in the Equine arena and happy to start right at the bottom and work my way up.
Type of Ride Work
Basotho pony / Quarter horses / Clydesdale / Thoroughbred (ex race horse) / Friesian / Arab - Polocrosse/ dressage / cross country / jumping / working farm or western style
