I've been volunteering and riding at Kingsmead Equestrian Centre for five and a half years and I've learnt the majority of the basics to horse care. I'm a competent rider who can ride a wide variety of horses, in size and temperament, independently or in a group. I'm comfortable around unfamiliar horses once I'm acquainted with them and happy to be sent away to groom them unaccompanied, or be set tasks such as skipping out stalls or filling water buckets to complete alone. I'm good at reading horse body language and understand the concept of pressure and release, allowing me to identify what a horse is being upset by and to respond in a sensible manner. I've lead in lessons and done field work before.
