I began volunteering at wardhouse as a teenager on weekends before being employed for weekends and eventually employed on a part time basis. I was responsible for the day to day running of the livery yard. I got to know each horse individually and learn their unique specific needs. I begun helping with lessons and eventually took pony rides on my own and built up my own clientele for both pony walks and lessons. I built a great rapport with kids and their parents/ carers. I organised the diary and ensured everyone was booked in for suitable lesson times and that the day ran smoothly and efficiently. I also ran the yard duties and led/ orientated junior staff. running the yard included making specific horse feeds, turn in/out of all horses, mucking out stables and ensuring fresh hay and water was replenished as required, groom and plait horses, lead and teach lessons, cash up at the end of the evening, handle and train difficult horses, organise and teach pony club/ parties, tacking

i have previously worked in a riding school/ livery yard. i am efficient at turning out and mucking out i work to a high standard and i'm a great team leader.

i have no experience in starting horses. i am confident in walk, trot and canter however not so much jumping. i have never been given much of an opportunity to ride.
