I have been around horses for about 10 years. I started riding at a riding school. As I learned more, I also spent my weekends helping out at the riding school. When I turned 13, I started working there during weekends and holidays. The work consisted of bringing horses in and out of the paddocks, feeding them, mucking out, organizing the children helping out, riding both in the arena and on hacks, preparing horses for the riding school, and assisting the lesson instructor. During this same period of time, I also assisted a team working with horse-assisted physiotherapy. My role was to lead the horses during the lessons, and communicate with and assist the riders. At the beginning of 2022, I started working at another stable, where I still work. My job consists mostly of feeding the horses, but also to bring them in and out, muck out and keep the stable tidy. In addition to riding in a riding school and exercising horses for their owners, I have had my own horse for nearly 4 years.

Once I learn the routines, I am efficient. I am hardworking, and I see the small tasks that need to be completed.

I have mostly ridden educated horses. My main interests are dressage, flatwork and riding on hacks.

I have previously competed at a club and regional level in both dressage and showjumping.
