Experience

Having worked and ridden a range of horses from a young age, from eventers to hunters and plenty in-between, I am confident and bold in dealing and riding with young, fit and sharp sport horses. Coming from a family of experienced eventers, veterinary nurses and farriers, I have had plentiful exposure to efficient equine management, care and first aid.

I see myself as a hard-working and approachable member of the yard who is confident talking to managers, clients and suppliers, and sorting out any potential issues or resolving problems that may occur. I am capable of working both in a team or independently, easily turning my hand to leadership roles or working alone using my own initiative.

Having returned from travelling abroad over last winter, I hadan office job which didn’t suit me, so I have now made the decision that I would like to pursue and further my career within horses and eventing.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

I enjoy learning horses characters as I work with them and building trust, I also enjoy keeping horses looking their best and the work that goes alongside maintaining fit, healthy horses.

 

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

I would like to finesse my skills to 5* level, both with horse care and turning out. I would like to begin to improve my eventing career with the aim to step up next year.

• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?

I am a young, fit, sympathetic, hard worker who adores working with horses and everything alongside them. I am ambitious, determined and willing to get jobs done, and reach an end goal – regardless of how big or small it is!

Yes!

Just my horse!
