Equine Work Experience
Everything in the day to day running of the yard ensuring everyone is working safely and the horses are safe and well. Assisting vets and looking after horses under treatment. I looked after a barn with around 15 horses all receiving treatment for various ailments. I have rode breakers away from start to finish. I have experience riding flat horses to jumpers to disengaged horses to keen pullers and bolters. I can attend the races and take sole responsibility to ensure horses are ready and out in the paddock on time. I have a good knowlege of care after a race and can take sole responsibility to ensure horses are looked after well.
Specialities
I have 12 years experience within the horse racing industry after graduating from racing school at the age of 16.
I have completed my NVQ L3 in Racehorse care and management, the assistant trainers course and many other industry recognised qualifications.
I have strong team building skills and management experience from various roles from taking lead roles within the racing industry to more recent customer facing roles.
Type of Ride Work
I have primarily worked with young thoroughbreds to the more established horses. The majority of my experience is with the racehorse from anything to breaking to schooling over fences. I have rode to aid rehabilitation and recuperation. I do have some experience with eventers and hunters where I would train for fitness. I can recognise when a horse is wrong and pin point the areas a horse may be feeling discomfort or an underlying injury. I have plenty of experience riding strong horses.
