Janey

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Agriculture management at the University of the Free State in 2020. In 2021 I obtained my bachelor's Honours Degree in Agriculture majoring in Animal Production Management.

I am currently a bartender in South Africa. Some activities include cleaning tables and removed empty glasses to keep customer areas fresh and clean. I applied exceptional communication skills to ensure quality customer service.

I have equine experience as I have done volunteer work at Arigato Stables during my school holidays for 5 years, where I have worked with horses and trained young horses in English riding and show jumping. I rode a variety of horses during this time, and I have not only ridden and trained horses, but I have also had extensive experience assisting in a stable. I know how to handle and control difficult horses while riding and training them. I have trained a young horse who was extremely green and did not even know what leg was, nor left and right. He was extremely energetic and I took him to his very first show/competition, where he was only backed for 3 months.

I have never worked on a Stud farm and with foals, or broodmares, however, I would love to learn and develop new skills in order to work with them and gain the necessary knowledge related to this field. I do have some experience working with stallions while I was visiting my cousin on his cattle and sheep farm. I am a fast learner and am always willing to learn something new. I am self-motivated, and I work quickly and efficiently where ensure everything is done correctly.

I have trained young horses and extremely green horses, who were very energetic, (between 5 to 6 years old) in English-style riding and showjumping. I have done flatwork and showjumping for approximately 5 years. The highest I have jumped was 1. 20cm, and 90cm to 1m during a jumping course. I also went to shows where I only jumped 70cm and did level 0 showing and dressage. I have also done cross country, however, only at home and not at shows. I do have some experience in starting a horse.

I was an assistant for a judge during a show for level 0 to 1 Dressage. I have competed in shows to obtain my school colors, where I made the KZN team in 2016. During the competitions and shows, I took care of my own horse, this included feeding, cooling down, unsaddling, and proving water.
