I have graduated and completed in June 2023 my two year hands on program from the university of Guelph at their Ridgetown College Campus for the Equine Care and Management Diploma.

Groom, barn worker (muck stalls, feed grain, give medication both oral and IM, tack up horses for lessons, handling more than one horse, etc)

I have worked assisting Élevage Fabie for live cover breeding for the last three years. I have worked for a competition show jumping barn called Venturing Hills Farm from 2022 until present as a barn worker and stable hand. I have worked teaching younger kids as well as adults in Parelli Natural Horsemanship. I’ve taught pony camps and summer camps.

I’ve had lots of practice keeping a tidy yard, as well as mucking stalls of straw, paper, wood shavings, and mixed bedding. I can handle and have worked for three years with live cover breeding, the handling and care of broodmares, stallions and foals to yearlings.

I’ve ridden problem horses, green horses and aided in their training, young horses and aided in their training. All where ridden to learn all the basics at the very least of a few different disciplines such as jumping, fox hunting, trekking, flatwork, obstacles and western games. I can ride a little of everything, such as flatwork, jumping, fox hunting, western games, trekking, obstacles and eventing. I have experience at starting young, green and even problem horses who weren’t started.

I have been competing for the last two years at low level eventing of Entry level on and off throughout the summers. I have groomed for associates for their shows, I’ve had training in the field of show grooming and I am my own groom for when I compete. I have and presently still am working at a Show Jumping competition yard in Luskville Quebec.
