I have completed my BHS challenge award in horse knowledge parts 1 and 2 and also horse health

I have volunteered at a riding stable that gives lessons to children as a groom - for a few hours a week for about 6 months

I worked at AP Equestrian for Grand Prix dressage rider Alice Peternell - part time for about a year; This involved mucking out, turning out, hacking, grooming, tacking up and general yard duties

I am a capable and competent rider and grew up having many riding lessons

I have a loan horse now so am regularly hacking, schooling and lunging

I have experience hacking out dressage horses and some event horses, some of which were quite green
