As a yard manager I have the responsibility of the upkeep of the yard. Mucking out up to 80 horses, helping to feed, general yard maintenance including painting and loading and unloading the walkers,helping to lunge horses and grooming on an evening.

2.5 years as a stable hand and yard manager.

I have worked with thoroughbred race horses ages from yearlings up to horses retiring and being turned out. Some experience with mares and foals. I am quick at mucking out and have a great eye for detail. I often had to muck out most of the yard at my old job. Keeping the yard clean and presentable to a high standard is very important to me as it shows a professional approach.

I have never rode a horse but I would like to. I have mainly worked with flat racers starting to race from 2 years old. I have helped to break in yearlings with taking them for walks, helping to lunge and exercise and getting the horses used to tack and human contact.
