- Comments
- I have both a South African and United Kingdom passport. I would like to work in Europe, UAE or North America but I am not picky! I do have my own horse and would like to bring her, but if this isn't possible it isn't a dealbreaker.
Qualifications
I have completed high school with 6 out of 7 subjects at 80% or higher.
Documents
Duties of Current Occupation
Tacking and untacking various lesson horses, taking horses to and from the stable and paddock, grooming, exercising horses (ridden or lunged), filling haynets, mixing feed, mucking out, cleaning tack.
Equine Work Experience
I can hack out and exercise on the flat and jumping. I've competed up to 90cm and produced my own thoroughbred mare up to that level. My plaiting is in progress but I am experienced with other aspects of grooming and turnout for shows.
Specialities
I believe I am a sensitive rider with a good feel for what is happening with the horse I am on. I mostly have experience with young, reactive horses. Organisation is important to me and I enjoy being clean and tidy and ensuring everything is in its right place. I'm not afraid of hard work and I'm adaptable and eager to learn. (I also believe I have a very good seat and do well at not reacting during bucking, rearing, etc.)
Type of Ride Work
I've mainly ridden showjumpers up to 1.10m. I do not have much dressage experience but I am well-versed in flatwork and lateral movements. I can lunge and long line too. Riding videos are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1f94cPU6n4-SDzqa7L20P2BFJ1qnbzKha?usp=drive_link
Competition Details
I have not worked in a strictly competition yard but I helped my instructor many times as she competed as well as me and the other students. I have competed in low level dressage, showjumping and equitation. I am very used to the show-environment.
