Currently studying a degree in Equine business management and on track to achieve a 1st class honours.

Management,

I have worked as a groom at a sales yard in Sussex on a freelance basis where I was involved in preparing horses for sales as well as exercising them all. This involved riding (schooling, hacking, jumping, hunting) and lunging horses from the age of 4 upwards. I currently work on an international Eventing and Dressage competition yard grooming for 1 rider competing at 3* star Eventing as well as for 2 international grand prix dressage riders. I am currently head girl for the eventer however work freelance for both dressage riders alongside. This involves the daily care of the horses, hacking, lunging, preparing horses for shows and general riding. I am able to bandage, clip and plait to a high standard. In my current role I am required to handle stallions, yearlings and help break in the horses as well as liase with vets, farriers and physios.

Experience handling foals & stallions on a busy competition yard. Worked as a shift manager at Iceland for 1.5years where I effectively managed a team of 5-15 staff members. I currently have sole charge of 11 horses which takes me 1.5 hours to feed, hay, full muck out and make haynets and feeds for the day. I like to work quickly and to a high standard to gets these jobs done in the morning as it allows me more time in the day to ride and exercise the horses.

I have ridden problem horses and green horses. I have experience in all disciplines with young horses including hunting. I have handed horses from foal to grand prix dressage and 3* eventing. I have helped breaking in young horses.

I have competed affiliated my own horse up to 105cm and competed ponies to 110cm. I have not competed as part of my job on the competition yard.
