Experience with Horses
My family were eventers and hunters growing up in the devon countryside i learnt to ride bareback and old school(for better or worse) my parents raised me to work hard and that the horses needs come before my own. I like to think i am a kind and calm natured horse woman. I am confident but will not put myslef in dangerous positions.
I have 6 years proffessionally grooming high goal polo in australia, united states and british summertime.
In 2022 i had the opportunity to groom for a close friend showjumping to grand prix level in Ocala Florida, we also had hunter jumpers and dressage horses during the summer time in viginia USA.
Key Skills
Clipping, grooming, exercising, rugging, Turn in/out, feeding, stalls, yard maintenance, high level competition turnout, young horses, all general yard duties to a high level, general first aid, adminitering medications, wrapping wounds, i can see lameness and out of the ordinary behaviour, can make decisions on when to call a vet and when not to,(common sense i think)
I can manage my own time and responibilities and can run a team of people on bigger busier yards where ‘head grooms’ are a thing.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Mostly i enjoy the lifestyle of working in fast paced environments and being proud of the horses when they succeed
I think there is always more to learn when it comes to horses so i enjoy working with new people and places and learning the different methods.
I have a very open and wide range of knowledge,i know that it is a full lifestyle i care for all horses as if they are my own and i respect how everyone likes to care for them in their own way.
Requirements
I am experienced and committed so would expect competitive wage.
I am happy to commute up to an hour.
I have no animals.
