Experienced Groom | Rider | Equine Care & Yard Management

PROFILE

Experienced equestrian professional with a BSc (Hons) in Equestrian Sports Coaching and a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Horse Management with Equitation. I have a strong practical background in horse care, riding, coaching and stable management, alongside experience independently caring for a range of horses and livestock. My professional riding experience includes equestrian performance and coaching, giving me a well-rounded understanding of horse behaviour, welfare, fitness and the importance of maintaining horses to a high standard.

Reliable, proactive and confident working independently, I take pride in being organised, observant and thorough in my approach to horse care. I believe horse welfare must always come first and would welcome the opportunity to support a busy competition yard while contributing to the day-to-day running of a private equestrian establishment.
