Qualifications
I hold a BA from the University of Surrey and a High Honors American High School diploma. I also have an enhanced DBS.
Duties of Current Occupation
Groom work - mucking out, feeding, grooming, exercising, haying, tacking up/down, and other farm duties.
Equine Work Experience
I've been riding since I was 10 years old, when I started working on a farm in exchange for lessons. I was a stablehand there, with duties including mucking out, feeding, grooming, exercising, haying, tacking up, and pretty much anything else that needed doing. When I got older, I began volunteering at a horse rescue as well, also taking on stablehand duties there. I worked with beginning students on lead and gave basic lessons as well. I'm also familiar with a variety of other farm animals including fowl, pigs, goats, alpacas, and donkeys. I've also worked with miniture horses, elderly horses, and previously abused horses (usually kill-auction rescues or former racehorses).
Specialities
I've taught in various subjects for years, so I have a teaching background as well as my farm skills. I am especially good with formerly mistreated horses, as most of my background is working with rescue horses. I also can take on a variety of farm tasks, as I am experienced in general farm animal work, as well as equines.
Type of Ride Work
I've done walk, trot, canter, jumping at various heights, some vaulting, and minor dressage work. I did some small competitions in my youth. I'm experienced in traditional English, bareback, and a bit of Western. I've done crop work, and some lunging work.
Competition Details
I competed as a child in America, so most of my competitions were years ago and in youth categories, but I competed in show-jumping exclusively, placing well in my age group.
