I went to Hartpury College to study a Level 3 BTEC in Horse Management and Equitation. As a pupil I worked on the College yard once a week and various weekends and worked in the running of various shows and events held at the college. I gained experience being in a busy environment as there was stabling for 280 horses, equine veterinary and therapy centre, including aqua-fit and high speed treadmills and a solarium. I now work on a livery yard of 60 horses all that are on full livery and take care of 3 horses on a private yard including exercising, prepping for competitions etc
