Care of Thoroughbreds - mares, foals, yearlings. All duties pertaining to a working broodmare and sales prep operation. Managing a medium-small staff, scheduling vaccinations and deworming, working closely with veterinarians and farriers.

I have 10 years of experience with horses, with the last four paid.

Assistant Manager: A comprehensive postition overseeing the care and management of 70 pregnant Thoroughbred mares, their subsequent foals, a handful of yearlings, and 2-3 riding geldings. Foaling of the mares, both solo and as a team. Recognizing problems with the horses such as colic, hemorrhage, contracted tendons and deviated angles in foals, and general 'off' behavior (fevers, lameness, etc). Handling everything from fractious newborns to hotheaded teaser stallions. Teasing mares. Keeping careful track of body condition of different classes of horses (racehorse layups vs broodmares). Sales work calling cards and showing for potential buyers.

Summer Camp Counselor: Working in a team to care for 70+ camp horses. I taught group lessons to raw beginners through intermediate-advanced riders. Conditioning of camp horses both physically and mentally, as they were not all 'trail'-quality horses.
