I also enjoy the routine and responsibility of running an organised yard, working both independently and as part of a team, and ensuring horses are always presented and cared for to the highest standard. Being involved in the preparation for polo matches and competitions is particularly rewarding, as it brings together all aspects of horse care, fitness, and teamwork.

I also bring a professional attitude, good communication with clients and colleagues, and a strong work ethic, making me a dependable and valuable member of any yard.
