Experience with Horses
I have several years of hands-on experience across riding schools, rescue yards, competition venues, equine retail, and veterinary clinics. At Hartpury College, I completed an Extended Diploma in Equine Management (Science), gaining extensive knowledge in horse care, including in-depth study of equine health, nutrition, and anatomy. I have also been a a long-term horse owner and competed British Showjumping. I’m confident handling all types of horses and carrying out daily care, exercising, and medical routines. My time at Hartpury College and in freelance roles has given me a strong mix of practical skills and equine knowledge. I’m reliable, hardworking, and passionate about providing high-quality care in any yard or equine environment.

I’m hardworking, dependable, and genuinely care about the horses and the people I work with. I take pride in doing things properly, staying calm under pressure, and being someone others can rely on.
