Marlena

Running and managing my own small business, creating and designing patterns. Managing finances and running my own website. Sewing clothing per custom order.

No, I haven’t worked in a professional capacity in an equestrian environment. However, I have ridden and worked with horses recreationally, including at Red Oak Farms and Hunters Crossing. This experience including mucking stalls, mixing feed, exercising the horses, grooming, and other care tasks.

I have experience working outdoors in extreme weather conditions including thunderstorms, excessive heat, and below freezing temperatures. I also have high standard of cleanliness and organization. During my time riding I learned to muck stalls efficiently and keep the barn and farm organized and clean for the animals and the riders. Recreationally, I garden and have experience working with agriculture, keeping a tidy yard and taking care of outdoor tools.

I have three years riding experience riding mostly young male horses. The riding included jumping , flat work, and some dressage work.
