Letizia

i do an office job at the moment, taking calls for the reservation centre of The Ivy Collection, however I've been riding for over 15 years and I would like to have a more practical work in the field of horse riding.

I've always been around animals and horses, I know how to clean a stable and how to groom a horse. I'm a quick learner so, even though I don't have much experience, I know I will be able to fill my gap quite quickly. In my riding school in Italy we used to stay hours before and after the lessons to help cleaning the halters or the saddles, and all the equipment, to groom the horses and help them to prepare them for the next lessons or feeding them for the night. I also used to help the pony club instructor with her lessons, leading the pony from the ground of the children that were just starting.

I always loved horses, my aunt used to let me "ride" hers when I was too little to ride by myself. I started riding properly when I was about 9 years old in Italy. I decided to move in UK when I was 21 and I had to stop for a bit even though, during summer I was always going for a ride. I started again now and I would like to be able to work in the field of horse riding. I show jump, however I never had the chance to compete and I enjoy doing flat work.

I ride in the English way and I used to train for show jumping, even though I never compete. My goals are to start doing some liberty work if I have the possibility.
