I would love to move up the levels alongside a successful dressage rider and be able to fulfill my dreams with horses.

I should be a priority candidate due to my unique amount of knowledge/experience for my age and height. Within my region I am constantly known for my ambition and attention to detail through all aspects. I am undoubtedly confident I can make any yard run as smoothly as possible as well as the training/welfare of the horses be noticeably improved.
