Specialities
I have worked with young sporthorses, and am comfortable handling them on the ground and starting them under saddle. I primarily have experience in the show jump industry, especially with green and young horses, but have correct flatwork and value a true dressage foundation. I'm comfortable working with stallions and foals. I'm happy to carry out all stable and horse care jobs to a high standard. I speak English, Spanish and German fluently.
Type of Ride Work
I have mainly been a showjumper home rider, and am confident around meter courses, and would love to progress throigh the levels. I am also educated in basic dressage, and can produce a horse through second level. I have experience starting young horses, and am comfortable riding green or challenging. I am happy to work with all sorts of horses with the help of trainers and people on the ground, but will not put myself in overly dangerous scenarios.
Competition Details
I have competed at showjumping up to 1m, have schooled young horses around smaller classes and first shows, and have ridden up to 1m20 at home. However, i have primarily been a home rider, and have minimal show record and experience.
Willing to learn anything and everything about more competitive grooming and riding, I am a very eager and motivated student.
