Life experience

Managing all aspects of an equestrian business

I was born into an equestrian family, firstly my grandfather was a trainer in the household cavalry and then went onto open a riding school in West Sussex. Where he also had boarders and sales horses. My mother then took over and we often taught children older than ourselves, along with breaking and training ponies for the lessons and sales business. At age 18, I started my own small scale sales business and carried on giving riding lessons both freelance and for other riding schools. As my sales business grew I concentrated on that ,whilst raising my now grown up daughters. Since a child, I have had a passion for showjumping and competed extensively whilst living in the UK, mostly with young, self produced horses that were then sold on. I have a great interest in and experience of breeding with my own mares and a good knowledge of jumping bloodlines. My sales clients have been a mix of professional riders, amateurs and trade clients.

I have an exceptionally keen eye when it comes to horses well being, be it physical ailments, dietary requirements or training methods that suit the individual animal. I have extensive experience in client relations, I've initiative by the bucket load ! Absolutely no drama kind of person with a positive attitude.

I'm not looking for a riding or trailer driving position. Only looking for a position in USA, to be closer to family.
