Experience with Horses
I have solid hands-on experience in horse care and daily stable operations, including grooming, feeding, turnout, and maintaining safe, clean facilities. I have worked at high-standard yards such as the DOKR in Warendorf and Wettstein Stables in Switzerland, and assisted a private rider at international competitions. Most recently, I managed an equestrian property in Portugal, overseeing all daily routines, horse care, and stable organization.
Key Skills
I am patient, calm, and quick to learn, with a strong love for animals and nature. I work well independently and keep the yard organized and safe. I am confident handling horses with different temperaments and experienced with lunging, bandaging, and daily stable routines. I also have strong practical skills: I can use tools, perform basic repairs, and solve problems efficiently. I bring reliability, attention to detail, and a positive, hands-on approach to every job.
Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
I enjoy the calm, steady rhythm of working with horses and the connection that comes from caring for them daily. I like building and seeing the progress in a trust-based relationship with each horse, and creating a safe, organized environment where they feel well. I find a lot of satisfaction in routines, improving their comfort, and supporting their wellbeing.
• Is there anything you’d like to improve?
I would like to keep improving my technical skills, especially in show preparation and more advanced handling techniques. I’m also always working on becoming more efficient and precise in my daily routines.
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
I bring a rare combination of patience, reliability, practical problem-solving, and genuine care for horses. I can manage a yard independently, stay calm under pressure, and maintain high standards every day. I learn quickly, adapt easily, and take full responsibility for the wellbeing of the horses and the smooth running of the stable.
