Qualifications
Officially expired now I'm afraid but I gained my rider's licence very young and my instructor licence 10y ago. I also attended Equestrian Academy as a boarding school from which I've graduated with honours before switching industry and starting my Uni in the UK.
Duties of Current Occupation
I grew up in a professional show-jumping stable. I regularly rode and cared for show-jumpers and gelding, stallions and mares alike and assisted at competitions. Then attended college in the UK and worked in tech for 7+ years and riding as a hobby
Equine Work Experience
I used to own my own horses while living at my former trainer's stables. I used to compete up to 120cm level but those times are gone. Also, during my University years in the UK i used to work in a pro polo-club looking after and training polo-ponies.
Specialities
High performer under pressure. Something goes wrong and others panic and run around like crazy? I run to fix it and ask questions later. Also, given my tech background I can help you with your online-presence and sales if required, but I'd prefer to spend majority of time around horses, not so much in the office where I spent the last 7+ years.
Type of Ride Work
Pretty decent with flat-work. Not currently skilled enough to be staring completely green horses but happy to help with educating young horses by helping them to find their own balance.
Competition Details
Yes. I spend 6 years in total in 2 different professional showjumping stables in Czechia (both performing on 150cm level or above) and 1 season in polo stable in the UK. I competed on a lower level myself in jumping and dressage. But again - I've been out of the professional game for years now.
