Having spent the last 6 months working on a 27-horse event/livery yard, I have experienced a vast number of equine incidents. This has prepared me for any equine role in the future and has also improved my brain reflexes meaning I have quicker reactions and have improved my ability to remain calm in all situations. This role also provided me with all the basic skills such as square beds, using a hay steamer, driving Kubota, using an alarm system, packing lorry for trips away and general horse prep e.g. tail bandaging, travel boots etc. For approx. six months I was working full time at a busy stud and vet practise. This was my most challenging role, but it also taught me the most. This job included working with embryo mares, foals, weanlings, yearlings and on the occasion, stallions. I learnt invaluable amounts about the stud industry and got to witness and assist with scans, collections, and a variety of vet practises. This ranged from daily medications to pregnant mare maintenance.

Proficient with horses of all ages, sizes, genders and their various problems. Am extremely confident with handling horses and trust my abilities to make judegment calls in challenging situations with highly strung competition horses

My passion is dressage but I show jumped from 10-15 in riding schools, more recently I have been exercsising horses from various disciplines; dressage, eventing, hunting - I can confidently school a horse through the scales of training, and using my knowledge and understanding of classical dressage, acheive harmonious and fluid flatwork. I have ridden horses from 14hh to 17hh and can deal with strong, fizzy, reactive, sensative

I have attended a few small dressage and show jumping competitions. I have also attended show duties at Hartpury where I worked in the warm-up ring and have written for judges in BD. I have done loads of competition and training prep for professional riders in the industry and know the importance of attention to detail and completing your task to its entirety.
