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 owned my own horses since a young age and participated in riding club competitions. I have always had a passion for dressage and have competed up to elementary level in British Dressage. I have competed in the summer area festivals at novice placing 2nd qualifying for the championships and I have also placed 3rd in the Sheepgate U25 championship at novice level.

I completed my level 3 apprenticeship working for an international dressage rider in north east Lincolnshire. I have continued to work there for over two years and in that time I have groomed at many competitions including high profiles, premier leagues and international shows. I have a lot of riding experience mainly riding young horses doing light schooling and hacking.
