I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Equine Management. I have my BHS Ride and Road Safety qualification. Along with that, I have 6 GCSE's including Maths, English and Science.

I've been horse riding since I was six and been having regular lessons since then. When I was 14 I discovered Polocrosse and fell in love with it, due to COVID I haven't been able to have a chukka in a while but I can't wait to get riding again. At the Polocrosse yard which doubled up as an RDA centre, I would help prepare the horses for chukkas and lessons. I would perform all the general horse husbandry tasks as well as various yard jobs. At college, I jumped and did flatwork twice a week, I have hacked a variety of horses across varied terrains and in all weathers. During college, the students would get up in the morning, before lectures, to muck out, groom and feed the horses. The second-year students used to run a team of first years and teach them how the college liked everything to be done, I would manage their progress throughout the morning and made sure their work was to a high enough standard while doing it at an appropriate pace.

I worked on an RDA yard and I exercised the Polocrosse horses (The yards were based on the same site) I rode the ponies before the children if they were fresh that morning.

I myself have never competed however, I used to help my college run SJ and dressage at the weekends. Jobs would include, running dressage sheets, managing the warm-up ring, pole picking and helping the course builder.
