Experience:
20 years experience with horses have allowed me to gain advanced knowledge in many spheres; from equine care and wellbeing, to dietary requirements- as well as being a great pair of eyes on the ground.
Current work: I currently work alongside 3 vet nurses as part of an animal welfare management team, so have an advanced inventory of knowledge in regards to equine and canine health and medication.
Previous equine Jobs:

Horse types and sizes ranging from 14HH Vanner X (childs pony) to a 17HH TB X ISH (Owners hunting horse. Within this job I had to maintain the arena surface, harrow fields, build jumps and courses etc. I also worked as the families dog sitter and babysitter – of which involved teaching the owner’s grandchild how to ride.

- Show groom Equiservice show team (2016-2018
My career has also consisted of being a show groom. This very quickly led me to realise that I have a real love for horse trimming and show prep.
On an average show day, I had to get each horse prepared for 3-4 classes.
SS hunt
During the first lockdown I took on the job of head groom, this was a live in job in south Shropshire. The hunt horses had a very strict schedule, which meant punctuality each morning was a necessity.
My personal riding ability:
I have a secure seat, soft hands though do not allow a horse to take advantage. I have schooled up to a good level, Jumped to a good level and and confident on all I am put on.

Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses? More than anything- being outside and busy, I flourish when given responsibilities and horses and working with them is something that simply has my heart.
• Is there anything you’d like to improve? I would like to get my HGV, and due to working back down in Cornwall, I haven’t had the opportunity to ride as much as I would like to, so any time to ride would be appreciated.
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker? I (apart from my one dog) do not have any large responsibilities to distract me, I enjoy working away, can get on with being left alone and manage every situation that crosses my path with full confidence. I don’t shy away from a challenge and due to working within a team of vet nurses- also have brilliant equine health knowledge
