Daily duties, mucking out, feeding and administering medications , exercising ridden/ floor work

I have volunteered at a RDA riding school up north in Neston for a year. I have even had the pleasure of owning my own horse. I worked for a private horse owner with 5 large competition horses ranging from the age of 4 to 23. The horses had a range of health issues such as uveitis, laminitis, cushings disease, stomach ulcers, ovary tumour and colic. Each of them at a different level of riding experience and quirks. I would work with al 5 of the horses either from the floor or ridden. Whether it was in the school or on a hack or farm ride. I have preformed fist aid many of times on the horses and changing dressings on a fractured leg, colic surgery dressings as well as administering they’re needed medication. I have clipped my boss’ horses as well as gotten them ready for shows. My own horse was unbroken so I would work with him from the floor( long reining, lunging) and eventually proceeded to achieve his ridden work.

I have ridden green horses, youngsters and a well established Dressage horse. I would compete in hand and ridden with my own and my boss’ horses. To bring two of my boss’ horses back into work I did a lot of floor work with the two of them.

I have only competed in small competitions as I much preferred going on farm rides. I have done a handful of competitions in hand and ridden
