Equine Work Experience
My equine journey began at a local riding school, where I gained practical skills in horse care and stable management. I then spent four years at a breeding ranch specializing in Irish cobs, where I learned about breeding, foaling, and young horse training. Transitioning to a riding school as an assistant, I shared my passion for horses with beginner students. Here I focused on safety, effective communication, and fostering a positive learning environment. I also gained experience in lesson planning, horse matching, and facility management. I've also owned and cared for my own horse, an English Thoroughbred with a racing background that I prepared for riding school. In addition to traditional riding disciplines, I've explored trekking and working equitation, leading riders through various terrains and participating in obstacle courses. Throughout my journey, I've developed an understanding of horse behavior, health, and performance, preparing me for roles within the equine industry
Specialities
I have worked in a horse ranch with about 50 horses, so I handled foals, stallions and mares. Managed small barns and duties included riding, mucking, tucking, saddling/unsaddling, bathing, warming up, administrating medications, blanketing and feeding. I have an assistant vet qualification. Also, with two decades in hospitality and customer service, we're skilled in managing restaurants and bars, leading and working in team.
Type of Ride Work
I have experience in English and American reining, flat work. Brief experience as a trainee to start horses. Brief experience in jumping.
Competition Details
During my tenure at the breeding ranch, I served as a groom for the shows. These shows were designed to assess and award points to foals, stallions, and mares based on the standard breed criteria. My responsibilities included preparing horses for presentation, ensuring they were groomed to perfection, and assisting with their handling during the judging process. This experience honed my attention to detail and care.
