Duties of Current Occupation

Feeding, turn in and out, guide for trail rides, equine first aid, groom, barn chores and maintenance, exercise, bandaging, hauling horses, house sitting

Equine Work Experience

I have been riding for approximately 15 years now and have put about 3000 hours in the saddle in a variety of settings including western riding, english riding, roman riding, trekking and entertainment. I grew up as a stable hand working for a small breeding stable. I preformed basic chores and horse care as well as trained and backed the young horses. I then became a horseback guide leading trail rides in various parts of the world and various terrains like mountains, beach, and African bush. Apart from being a guide I took care of a herd of up to 45 horses, did barn and trail maintenance and ended up as the barn manager at most of my work places. I also have experience in equine entertainment (trick training, roman riding, gymnastics, driving, movie stunts) and have worked for a couple race teams as a stable hand / groom / exerciser.

Specialities

My main specialty would be guiding on horseback over a variety of different terrain from mountains to beach to African bush. Im also a very well rounded stable hand and groom working from a private breeding stable to a racetrack with a team of 70 thoroughbreds to an equine entertainment team. Through this experience I have developed strong maintenance skills, grooming, lunging, turn in and out, feeding, first aid, bandaging, exercising and barn work. Knowledge in trick training, horsemanship

Type of Ride Work

western trail riding mountain riding African Bush riding Schooling / gymnastics Roman Riding Driving Bareback

Competition Details

I have no personal experience competing but I have been behind the scenes on many occasions. I have worked along side race teams and a professional equine entertainer in which I aided in preparing the horses for competitions, races, and shows.
