Equine Work Experience
I have ridden for as long as I can remember and love it. I love to jump and hunt. I fell off at a young age and broke my arm, but over the years I have now developed my confidence. Previous yards have included: working with children and helping them to learn to ride; going on the Connemara Trail in Ireland and also working at Dartfield; helping my friend in Limerick and also I worked for a week with event rider Gregor Knox. I also worked for two months at The Royal Studs at Sandringham where I was handling the foals and mares. Also I had to muck out and clean stables. Blow the yard, clean head collars and be professional at all times, I have worked for Coolmore Australia, and event yard in Queensland and a racing yard in Scone. I’m currently working as a yardman for Archie Watson Racing doing all yard duties mucking out, taking horses on and off the walker and all day to day duties expected on a busy Racing yard.
Specialities
My main area is hunting, as I have done this for over ten years, but I also know how to turn out horses for eventing, and also wish to start competing myself. a. I also wouldn't mind a job on a polo yard, but eventing is my main area of interest. I can plait, clean tack, school, take out for hacks, and am a genuinely confident rider.
Type of Ride Work
I am really looking for a job in eventing, or showjumping. I am a capable jumper, happily going over metre 15/20 fences on a 16.2/3 belgian warmblood. Flatwork is good, and perfectly capable. As stated before my hunting experience is very good, and am happy to take out youngsters if needed.
Competition Details
I have never competed professionally as I haven't ever had the chance, but would love to be given the opportunity, as I haven't competed for a very long time.
