Experience with Horses
- Since joining the industry I have worked as a stud groom at an Irish Draught Stud. I trained and was promoted to yard manger at The Talland School of Equitation. I worked for a short period at an eventers and rehab yard and then was recruited to work as a teaching support officer at The College of West anglia where I managed the equine rehab and treadmill centre. In order to complete my masters in Veterinary Physiotherapy I took a job for a year at a high end livery yard in Hertfordshire handling competition horses, stallions and young stock and delivery a full livery service. I have been the yard manager at a different college now for 5 years, I line manage a team of 7 staff and oversee the facilities and a 50 horse capacity yard.
- I currently hold my BHSAI qualification and coach our college students across the disciplines. I also teach staff theory towards their BHS stage exams. Currently, I am training towards my BHSII and I still train with Pammy Hutton and complete jump training at Wellington riding on a weekly basis. To fund my training I freelance coach at a local riding centre on the weekends teaching all ages.
- Due to the establishments I have worked at I am now versed in using the weighbridge, Mag rug, Aqua Treadmill and Hydrotherapy Spa. I have handled a range horses safely and ensure that the staff I supervise do the same. As yard manager in my current and previous role I am responsible for managing the horses daily routine and the facilities themselves. I am also experienced at being calm and professional when interacting with the vet, farrier, clients, others coaches etc. I enjoy working as a team and learning in a fast paced environment.
