Equine Work Experience
I’ve worked on a racing stable in Australia as a stablehand and did all the duties that you can expect on a stable, next to that I have been going to the racetracks as a groom/strapper. I also groomed for my stablemates and of course my own horses and competitions. I worked a few years at a riding school as a stable hand and riding coach for children. Given all of my experience I know very well how to handle horses, notice what a horse needs, breaking in and riding / jumping on my own. Just like all the basic works such as mucking out, feeding, lunging, tacking up and making a horse competition ready etc.
Specialities
I have my international manual drivers license and got lots of experience with driving in a car and also on small (horse)trucks. Getting up early is no problem for me, nor is it a problem to work on weekends or public holidays. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs.
Type of Ride Work
I'm a friendly but confident rider and have no trouble getting on difficult horses or horses I’ve just met. I’ve got lots of experience and confidence in handling and riding/breaking in a variety of horses from many different levels, but I did mostly ride the young/green horses and difficult/tempered ones. Next to that I’ve also ridden many stallions and warmbloods/thoroughbreds.
I have loads of experience doing flatwork, hacking, jumping, dressage, and some eventing.
Competition Details
I’m a very experienced rider and I’ve been a horse girl since the day I was born. I’ve owned and took care of many horses. I’m a competent rider and competed in both dressage and showjumping. I’ve competed on national level up to Z2-dressage in the Netherlands, which as I looked up will be probably 3rd level in USA and Medium in AUS. Next to that I’ve competed in nationals on 120cm showjumping, also I’ve introduced many youngsters to showjumping and their first jumps.
