Experience with Horses

Outline your experience with horses here/the scope of your freelance services.

I have been around horses all my life since I was around 5, when I first rode a horse. From there on in the last I helped out from 12yrs old through to 18yrs at my previous riding school where I used to go called Stag Lodge stables.

I studied horses for 3 years;

-1 year at Merrist Wood College, Guildford (2013/2014)

BTEC LEVEL 2 Equine Diploma in Horse Care

– 2 years at Plumpton College, East Sussex (2014/2016)

BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary in Equine Management (1 year)

BTEC Level 3 in Equine Management (1 year)

Key Skills

What are you particularly good at? For example: working alone, working with others, clipping, plaiting, turning out for shows, handling stallions, handling/riding young horses, non-equine skills etc

Strengths and Weaknesses

What do you most enjoy about working with horses? I just love being around them, their beautiful animals. I enjoy riding them as well. Back at college last year in May 27th 2016, I fell off a horse during a lesson in a field and broke my left collarbone, yes I did lose abit of confidence but I still got back on after it completely healed and didn’t let that stop me as it was my dream to work with horses from the start.

Is there anything you’d like to improve?

Being more confident as being part of a team with other people who I meet when I start a new job.

Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?

I am hardworking, trustworthy and reliable. I will get on with the job without any hesitation.

Requirements

What would you like to do or gain in your next job?

I would like to be a groom/rider and help work with the horses. This would help me create a bond with them. I would also like to gain trust from people whilst on the job, I wouldn’t hesitate or anything when being asked to do something by someone else.
