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 with, cared for and ridden horses for over 16 years, I am currently 23 years old and have my BHS gold membership. I currently loan a horse and my dream is to one day be able to compete affiliated in BS alongside my career. I have worked at 5+ equestrian centres, ranging from livery yards to competition yards to university centres. I have experience handling all types of horses e.g. foals, eventers, dressage, showjumpers, riding school etc. I am a veterinary physiotherapist and thus did 4 years at university and have strong skills in assessment and behaviour reading.
