I have worked as a professional rider and Head Groom privately all of my working career. I have worked for the same family also. Why? Well why not! Firstly I was happy there, secondly they train really well and really thoroughly, thirdly I actually got to ride some amazing horses both showjumpers and dressage horses including stallions, younger and older horses. I studied at college a HND in Sports Horse Performance and Management before taking up my final position as a yard manager/head trainer. I am a great friend and I am loyal, I'm not young and unattentive to people or horses! Im a 39year old man with my head really screwed on. I am a true professional register elite Level groom but I am also a talented rider, preferring to do the behind the scenes work rather than compete as I haven't ever had the right horses to actually compete, and work well either by myself or in a team. I am available to work on most yards, I am also happy to work on private yards.
