Experience with Horses

I have experience as stable hand and groomer making sure horses are presentable, well and healthy and as I became more familiar with working with horses I began training them and breaking them in. When i worked in Libya I was in charge of 13 horses, all of which I trained and looked after. I was given the responsibilities of breaking in young foals and fillies which was an ongoing process that involves patients and trust. I transported horses to competitions and to be bought and sold and assisted my manager with purchases, I also worked as a jockey for my employer in Libya and entered races and show jumping competitions.
