Equine Work Experience

I have experience working effectively on a variety of different yards:

  • Event Yard
  • Livery Yard
  • Riding School
  • Backing/Problem Solving livery & an equine rescue center

I am able to confidently carry out general yard duties and I am a calm yet capable rider, confident to ride a variety of horses.

I am great at time keeping and keeping this organised, and see myself as approachable and friendly as a person.

I regularly take my own horse out competing and I am confident driving a 3.5 horsebox.

I currently work as a riding instructor (insured but not officially qualified) and have done so for 2 years at local riding school. This role is completed alongside my full time office role.

Specialities

I am bubbly and enthusiastic person with a creative mind and willingness to learn - I strive to be the best version of myself and take on every aspect of my life with an upbeat and positive attitude. I have experience of being both a company employee and a successful business owner, working effectively as part of a team as well as being able to work independently and self-motivate. I am a friendly, trustworthy and reliable individual willing to work hard and continue to develop in the workplace.

Type of Ride Work

I currently event and show jump at a low level, however I have previously enjoyed hunting and a (teeny tiny!) bit of polo!

I occasionally ride western and often go for a bareback gallops!

I'll ride any horse, so long as they are not malicious. A little spice and sensitivity is not an issue!

Competition Details

I currently take part it unaffiliated events, recently qualifying for the recognised Cotswold Cup Championships this autumn. I have worked alongside competitive riders however have only ever been a home groom.
