I have currently just finished my first year of college doing a level 3 equine management course at kidderminster college and hopefully continuing in the second year - still waiting on results.

Tacking up/ untacking Plaiting (A little bit of lunging , bandaging and clipping but not loads) Mucking out Grooming Handling customers (at a riding school - took payment)

Ive been working with horses for about 3/4years now. At college ive also done health checks. Ive delt with situations such as when a horse has came down with colic and i had to use teamwork and communication skills to deal with the horse aswell as speak to the vet when they arrived. Ive also been in a situation when many horses have escaped fields where i have helped calm the situation and get it resolved.

Ive been incharge of the staff on the yard making sure jobs are being done. I work at a riding school on saturdays which have a variety of many different horses which also has competition show jumpers on. Ive turned out and turned in foals and youngsters

I have ridden a wide range of horses including: ex-racers which i have rode on the flat and jumped. Ive also rode schoolmasters on the flat and jumped, Ive also rode experienced show jumpers however im not experienced in riding youngsters as ive only rode around 1 or 2 on the flat. Ive confidently jumped up to about 1m and can walk, trot, canter, gallop etc.. as i have been riding for 9years. I have not done any cross country as i have never had to opportunity too.

Unfortunately i have never been able to compete myself or go as a groom - still hoping to expand on my experience and change this as I would be open to do so
