Specialities
I have been away from the equine industry for 8 years, which may have lead me to be a tad rusty, or slower than someone fresh out of college/younger. But, I have experience and sense of humour; I'm happy to be working part of a team or be in solo change of a yard. I've always taken pride with my work, from turning out to a high standard, to a clean yard. I have learnt; never trust a clean groom...I'm always covered in mud, bedding or hay before the first hour is over. So you can trust me!
Type of Ride Work
I have ridden all sort of horses; from green (youngster/off the track) to the old school master. I've never been phased by bucking, rearing or napping. Yet, these days, I believe the old school master, would be better suited since I don't believe I would bounce as I used to.
My experience during ridden work; (eg; treks) across the southern downs, throughout the woods, on roads and within arenas. I prefer to say I am a happy hacker, but I can happily school a horse in the arena.
