i am now finishing my degree in competition sports and equestrian management. graduation is in the second week of July 2022.

teaching riding lessons, taking care of barn management.

I started riding at a schooling barn when I was approximately 8 years old, have always ridden since then. bought my first horse when I was 18, and 2 others when I was 22. I have ridden thoroughbreds on racetracks and Andalusian horses in the dressage ring. my competition horse was a dutch warmblood bred for showjumping. I have worked in schooling barns for kids and training barns for high end dressage, showjumping and cx horses. thought basics to wester riders and mostly helped with behavioral problems in horses with a soft but stern approach. I have mostly giving riding lessons in the last 3 years, while completing my studies.

i have worked in different specialties, like breeding, cross country, dressage and showjumping. I have also done 4 years of internships at different stables during my education; Competition Sports and Equestrian Management. I have worked with young horses, have owned multiple horses myself and have ridden competitively in both dressage and showjumping. I have experience working with and leading a team, as I have worked as a chef in multiple restaurants too. I'm great in stressful situations.

i have ridden almost everything, but I don't start/break horses. I believe that should be done by a professional trained to do thad specific thing in horse training. it brings a lot of behavioral problems if not done right.

i have competed in both dressage and showjumping. I have organized/ helped with organizing multiple competitions, clinics and training days for multiple different riding styles. I have groomed for international riders too.
