I have been exposed to horses since seven years old but have taken a few years off in between from riding. For the past two years I have been assisting my riding instructor at a lesson barn, consistently working more with horses and people. I would like to find a job with a greater amount of equine opportunities to build experience and learn more challenging tasks with a busier schedule. I have dealt lightly with a small number of spirited horses(bathing, leading, grooming) I know basic equine behavior, and general knowledge of horses

At the moment, I am taking riding lessons, and have had experienced with several different horses with various personalities / gaits. So far, I can walk, post/sit trot, canter, and jump under two feet. I know the basic fundamentals to riding, and have taught at least one lesson as well as observing my instructor teach lessons.
