Duties of Current Occupation
In charge of 4 hunters, 1 retired polo pony and a broodmare and her 2 youngsters. Also in charge of 6 dogs (vaccines, worming, feeding, vet visits etc.) and chickens.
Equine Work Experience
I worked at the Beaufort Hunt for 3 years, and completed my NVQ while working full-time. I then went on and done 2 months at the Curre and Llangibby Hunt, where I took sole-charge of 6 hunt horses. Then I went a volunteered for a week at a private hunting and eventing yard. I then took a break from horses to gain other skills, and did work as a Customer Service Assistant in retailing. I recently relocated to Dorset on a private family yard, but the job is a lot different to how it was portrayed to me so I am looking to get another position within an equine career, hopefully staying in the Dorset/Somerset area.
Specialities
• Highly motivated, adaptable and responsible • Warm, caring and friendly persona • Experience working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments • Turn out to a good standard • Muck out 5 straw stables in about an hour • Immaculate tack, horses and yard (OCD so everything has to be spotless) • I love routine, so sticking to schedules for shows/hunting etc is easy
Type of Ride Work
I have ridden hunters, eventers, a few youngsters and riding school horses. I have also ridden a couple of ex-racehorses.
I can confidently exercise in the school and in open places, and I am happy to do some low-level showjumping. I can school a horse quite nicely on the flat but would be eager for lessons to further improve these skills. I am also happy to take horses out hunting.
