My current job at a competition/livery yard involves all aspects of horse care, handling a range of horses from youngstock to fit competition horses. I also work at a children's farm which involves a lot of customer service and farm animal husbandry
I started riding around 10 years ago and my life has revolved around horses ever since. From the age of 13 I volunteered at my riding stables/show jumping yard which gave me a solid foundation from which I have built on over the years. This involved all aspects of horse care as well as some teaching younger children and grooming at competitions. From here I went on to part-loaning a variety of horses over the years whilst moving on to working at a different competition/livery yard. All of these horses were completely different, giving me the opportunity to learn how to adapt my riding to the horse. In 2017 I bought my own 4 year old mare which I have been breaking in myself to show jump with the hopes of eventing. This has allowed me to experience first hand the difficulties and rewards from bringing on a youngster. I ride a range of horses belonging to other liveries on my yard, helping with confidence-givinf to the horses as well as working on flat and jump schooling.
My speciality involves working with youngstock and green horses. Breaking in my own mare to show jump has given me the knowledge and skill to work with other horses that may be new to a discipline or to working in general. I have worked with many horses at my yard when their owners may be struggling which had allowed me to learn how to adapt my riding to ensure that the horse works to reach their maximum potential. I am able to carry put husbandry tasks as well turnout to a high standard.
I have experience in riding dressage, show jumping and cross country as well as hacking. I am a calm and confident rider and am able to school to a high standard. I have ridden a range of horses so am able to adapt to the horse I am riding quickly.
I have competed in the BUCS trophy league for my university in which I regularly place individually and have placed as a team at every competition. This involved a show jumping round and dressage test on borrowed horses. The horses are allocated randomly for each phase and we are given 5 minutes to warm up before entering the ring. Due to having youngsters I have competed unaffiliated show jumping up to 90cm and dressage up to prelim but have been successful with my horses at this level.
