Qualifications
Duties of Current Occupation
I am working at Hanstholm Camping in Denmark as a Trail Guide. I am responsible for 23 Icelandic Horses and I take care of their every day needs. We ride in large groups along the beach and in the countryside. Rides vary from 2 hours to 4 days.
Equine Work Experience
I have been working in Western Ranch as a Trail Guide, where I now have my own horse. I had a few English Riding lessons in a Riding School. I have studied Natural Horsemanship from Clinton Anderson, Pat Parelli, Buck Brannaman and other resources through the Internet like Monty Robert's Online University and Rick Gore's Channel. I am a Natural Trimming practitioner following the method of Jamie Jackson and Pete Ramey. I am taking Western Riding lessons, mostly Cutting, from a colleague in my current work. I have studied Classical Equitation but I never had the chance to practice.
Specialities
I started working with horses when I was 16, as a trainee in a Western Ranch in Greece. The ranch is a family run business, with almost 40 horses, and here I had the opportunity to live close to horses, observe and understand their psychology. I learned how to feed, prepare, saddle and ride a horse, first aid and braking green horses. Most importantly I got a lot of experience in Trail Riding and working with people.
Type of Ride Work
Very experienced at Trail Riding and teaching Children or Green Riders. Starting or Rehabilitating horses with Natural Horsemanship. Trimming following Natural Hoof Care.
