I don’t have any equine qualifications but I’m looking into do my BHS qualifications.
Currently I’m doing all daily yard duties: Mucking out, turning out bringing in, grooming, standing for farrier, vets etc and riding and exercising clients horses.
I have alot of experience with horses with my age considered. I have grown up with horses since I was very young, and I have grown to love everything about them. I can groom, clip, ride, lunge, long rein, muck out and perform basic first aid. I’m confident in dealing with youngsters, ex-racers and fit competition horses. The process of backing and breaking in horses is new to me but I’m currently in the process of backing a 4yr old. I have competed a lot in show jumping and one day events. I have worked for a 4* event rider for a temporary time due to her sustaining an injury. I’m currently helping run my family’s livery yard and helping do everything from mucking out to basic first aid to riding clients horses. I’m a confident, highly motivated and motivating, bubbly person who has a huge passion for horses. I do currently have two horses of my own so I am definitely not out of practice. One is a ex racer I recently purchased and aiming to event and is proving to be talented.
My specialties are:
Handling fit competition horses, ridden and on the ground. I have good time management and always like to get things done to the best of my ability. I’m hardworking and eager to learn. The horses I care for their health and well-being is paramount.
I’ve currently got a competition pony who is consistently in work and will be out competing soon, I have an ex racer who i purchased a month ago and is proving to be talented and the retraining process is going very well, I also have a 4 yr old I’m currently backing and she has some amazing breeding so I’m hoping to take her and do some 5 yr old classes next year in show jumping.
I have competed a lot, show jumping and One Day Events mainly. Majority of the time in the placings with winning and venues like Western Lawns and Addington.
