Equine Work Experience
I have worked with horses most of my live and i have been very lucky to gain a lot of experience working on a range of yards from riding school , polo , hunting , livery and evening yards.
throughout my time i have gained my BHS stage one , two and three i would love to add to them and work towards my teaching if given the opportunity but i am also equally keen on learning new skills at any yard i work on as no two yards are the same everyone one will always teach you something new.
i have groomed up to 4* and have been head groom on multiple yards running a small team while binging in charge of hay , feed , vet and farrier as well as dealing with day to day livery needs. ( full, part and diy )
I have also worked a temp contract at Sparsholt college working along side students that where taking the competition path introducing them to the preparation of the care before and after eventing (plating , quatermarks , first aid , packing lorry's , admin ect )
Specialities
personally i would say i turn my hand to anything equine i am always wanting to learn and develop my skills and take pride in that. from every day to day yard work to event grooming and everything in-between the equine world is forever changing and there is always something new to learn - teaching horses on the ground, under saddle ,diet and veterinary needs its my job to always do and give the best to each horse that is in my care and to understand each horses needs.
