Experience with Horses
Experience in horse-riding for 4 years under natural horsemanship. Vocational education in Latvia as a livestock technician specializing in horse grooming. Finished courses as: fundamentals of horse and rider training, fundamentals of veterinary medicine, horsegrooming and horse breeding and animal welfare. As part of the education I had 3 months long hands on expreience in a show jumping stable where I was mucking out stalls, assisting with farrier or veterinarian, leading horses in and out of individual pastures, feeding horses, giving hay, cleaning and refilling the watering buckets, preparing horses for presentation and checkinhg the horses overall health. During the internship I also tamed 4 wild polish konik ponies and by the end they could be led and safley handled.
Key Skills

I am cofortable handling horses of any age, but prefer to ride experienced horses with good temperament.
I have skills in saddle fitting, bridle fitting, riding equipment care and harnessing driving equipment.
Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
The rewarding feeling of understanding between me and the animal once a connection is established.
• Is there anything you’d like to improve?
I feel like riding is a skill that needs continous improvement as it needs to change and adjust to each horse. I would also like to learn more techniques in plaiting and clipping.

I am friendly, punctual and devoted to the animals under my care. I have commited to learn about horses and continue to be open all experiences in connection with these magnificent animals. I am willing to travel within EU and seeking VISA options outside of EU.
