Qualifications
I have a long cv which I am happy to provide but no actual equine qualifications, hence the reason for applying for an apprenticeship to further my knowledge.
Duties of Current Occupation
Maintaining yard, mucking out, turning out horses in appropriate wear. Putting horses on walker. Feeding. Occasional riding.
Equine Work Experience
I have worked for a year and a half within the equine industry and absolutely love it and love working with horses. Currently working at a yard where they re train/ pre train racehorses and also break in young horses.
Specialities
I have handled foals/ broodmares/ yearlings and racehorses. I can muck out quickly and like to keep the yard neat and tidy. I have lead a small team of people previously although in a different profession. I have years of customer service experience and enjoy meeting people.
Type of Ride Work
I currently ride a retired racehorse. I often go out with the young horses as a lead horse. I have ridden a five year old and ex racehorses that are training to go into a different discipline. I am currently looking for a horse of my own.
Competition Details
I have not been involved in a competition yard but would relish the challenge! I would love the opportunity to learn more and gain a qualification to further my skills.
