Duties of Current Occupation
Right now I am studying in high school for my matriculation exam. I will be graduating in spring 2024.
Equine Work Experience
I am not a trained professional but I have worked all my life with different types of horses. I have worked with foals, mares, stallions. I have experience in training green horses and I have worked with "problem" horses as well. My previous coaches have said that I am a calm and a soft rider, who doesn't get scared easily. When working with horses I try to listen to the horse and consider their health my number one priority,
I have done stable shifts independently and master the basics. I try to do my work precisely and effectively. I appreciate a clean and safe environment, so you can see me cleaning everything I possibly can. I have also worked with customers. I have experience working with children and disabled. I have competed some myself and been a groom a couple of times.
Specialities
Our family breeds Shetland ponies (Promisehill ponies). I have experience in showing and horse breeding. I have also worked at riding schools, barns and at a horse therapy center. I have worked with many types of horses, foals, stallions, green and problematic horses.
Type of Ride Work
I have experience with many types of horses. I often find myself as a trainer for problem horses and young horses. I don't have a problem with any types of horses and I am always ready for a new challenge and opportunity to learn more. I have done mainly dressage and show jumping. I enjoy both disciplines and would like to pursue both. I have done some cross country and I love it, but I don't have much experience yet.
Competition Details
I have competed some, not goal-oriented or actively. I have been involved in organizing small competitions at a riding school. I have also been a groom to my old coach a couple of times.
