Professional history

2016-2020

I worked as a Yard Duty Manager at Checkendon Equestrian Centre for four years, a role which involved all usual yard duties and the smooth running of the riding school and livery. During this time I schooled all types of horses/ponies for flatwork, jumping and hacking and achieved my BHS Stage 2.

2022-2023

I worked as Head Girl at Moorcroft Equine Rehabilitation Centre, a role that included keeping the yard to a high standard, high quality horse husbandry, exercising fit competition horses and ex-racers for rehabilitation, alongside all usual yard duties and taking sole charge.

2023-2025

I worked as sole charge groom and rider for a private dressage yard, undertaking all yard duties, exercising fit dressage horses, and petsitting.

2025-present

I am currently Yard Manager at Checkendon Equestrian Centre, ensuring the smooth running of the yard, clear communication with the liveries, training junior staff, schooling/long reining/lungeing, and office admin. I also achieved my BHS Stage 3 Care & Lunge qualification, and am currently working towards Stage 3 Ride, Stage 4 Care, and a Level 4 Certificate in Lameness and Rehabilitation.

Key Skills

I have just under 10 years’ experience in the equine industry, encompassing riding schools, rehabilitation, livery, and private competition yards.

I am a quiet, sympathetic rider with experience backing and producing, schooling for improvement, hacking for confidence, variety, and exercise, long reining for development of the horse’s muscles and back and assessing lameness and discomfort.

All usual yard duties, including clipping, pulling/trimming, driving up to 3.5t, administering medication, and assisting with farrier/vet/physio.
