Equine Work Experience
I've worked for many top professionals in the industry in Massachusetts and Wellington Fl. I was both a groom and rider helping with daily duties such as stalls, tacking/untacking, setting courses, helping with vet/farrier, helping with medical care if their were any injuries or cuts, doing ground work with young horses from 6 months to 5 y/o, lunging, wrapping, taking horses to shows. In previous jobs I’ve taught beginner to advanced lessons, helping students gain a good riding foundation and achieve their goals whether it be on the flat or over fences. I also helped with training rides on the lesson horses and client horses. I have previously done free-lance riding in different parts of Connecticut, primarily helping clients with their green horses, and backing young horses.
