Equine Work Experience
My family have started a relatively new small sport horse stud (Bolzon Performance Horses) that has been producing only around 3 to 4 foals a year. Our first homebred foal is currently rising 7 and has jumped around 1.20-1.25m tracks comfortably and successfully. I have been around horses since a young age and started as a show horse rider where presentability is of high importance. I moved from being a show rider and have been a showjumper for the past four years where I have quickly moved up the ranks to start preparing to compete as a young rider this year (1.25-1.40m).
Specialities
I am able to work in a face paced environment efficiently and effectively and up to a high standard with lots of attention to detail. Stud Work:
- Handling foals, broodmares, stallions
- Assisting vet with different activities (scanning mares, vet checks, colic treatment)
- Assisting farrier Racetrack/Showjump Stables:
- Handling racehorses (yearlings to six year olds)
- Swimming and treadmill work
- Mucking out/feeding/keeping stables clean
- Preparing/tacking up horses
Type of Ride Work
- experience with re-educating racehorses
- my last showjumping horse was a thoroughbred which I competed up to 1.25-1.30m
- not much experience riding competitively with warmbloods but have schooled on the flat with them
- current showjumping horse is a warmblood mare which I've competed at 1.20-1.25m
- started breaking in my rising 3 year old colt (lunging, long reining) before moving to France but don't have lots of experience with breaking in a horse yet
Competition Details
I have been successful in my showjumping career and have currently been comfortably competing around 1.20-1.25m. I was awarded State Junior Rider of The Year in South Australia in 2021 and have numerous junior championship wins and placings. I have also helped out at competitions; warming up people, helping set up/change courses, and picking up poles. I have not worked as a competition groom before but would definitely be open to the opportunity to be one and learn from this experience.
