Experience with Horses
Outline your experience with horses here/the scope of your freelance services. If you’re looking for a non-equine or non- yard-based job please use this space to describe your experience skills/abilities and adapt the questions to suit your line of work.
I have worked on a Welsh Pony stud handling, broodmares, foals and stallions and assisting with the live covering process. Also during my time at the stud I assisted at county in hand shows both outside and inside the show ring. The manager also trained point to point horses so have experience as a work rider with the pointers.
My main passion lies with Eventing. I have worked for two 5* riders where I have exercised horses from grassroots to 5* level, groomed at one day and three day events and been left in sole charge of the yards.
Other equine industries I have some experience in are:
riding schools-I taught my own group of children on weekends and also adult beginners during the week
livery yards- working as part of a team and in sole charge
polo-I have had a small bit of experience caring for and exercising polo ponies
I’m looking for a grooming, competition groom and or riding position
