Qualifications
I bring lifelong experience with horses alongside a strong professional background in management. While my resume reflects my professionalism, it does not fully capture my hands-on horse experience from childhood through my teens, as well as continued involvement through volunteer work at Bit-By-Bit and Vinceremos. I am reliable, observant, and organized, and I am eager to apply both my equine knowledge and management skills in a stable environment.
Documents
Duties of Current Occupation
Experienced in daily barn operations including feeding, grooming, bathing, tacking, stall cleaning, turnout, blanketing, and basic horse health observation. Reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive to horse care and safety.
Equine Work Experience
I began riding at the age of four and rode consistently through my late teens, primarily working with Saddlebreds and receiving formal training in English riding and horsemanship. This foundation gave me a strong understanding of proper position, tack, schooling, and horse handling. In more recent years, I have expanded my experience to include Western riding, with a focus on trail riding and developing calm, steady partnerships with horses in varied environments. Alongside riding, I have extensive experience in general horse care and barn work, including feeding, grooming, bathing, tacking, turnout, stall cleaning, and daily observation of horse health and behavior. I have also volunteered with equine-assisted therapy programs, where I worked both with the horses and the clients of the stables, supporting a safe, compassionate, and structured environment that promotes trust, confidence, and positive outcomes for all involved.
Specialities
Experience volunteering at therapeutic riding and equine-assisted therapy barns. Skilled in patient, compassionate horse handling, supporting special-needs riders, maintaining calm environments, and assisting instructors to ensure safety and positive experiences.
Type of Ride Work
My primary training is in English-style riding, with a strong background working with Saddlebreds. I rode and trained from early childhood through my late teens and competed in shows throughout the northeastern United States, gaining experience in disciplined schooling, ring etiquette, and horse presentation. In recent years, I have broadened my skill set to include Western riding, with a focus on relaxed, balanced riding and developing dependable horses for trail riding.
Competition Details
Competed in horse shows throughout the Northeastern United States during my youth, riding Saddlebreds in English-style classes and gaining experience in show preparation, ring etiquette, and performance standards.
