Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
I no longer own horses, they were my life! Now, they are still part of my working life and I enjoy the contact, routine and relationships with my clients horses. It keeps me young,active and fit and alert!
• Is there anything you’d like to improve
I’d need to brush up on certain things that I dont do everyday, for example: turning out for a show, but the knowledge is still very much there!
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
If they are looking for someone who is 100% trust worthy, responsible, on time, to be trusted with homes, equines and other pets this is the basis of my current enterprise.

I’d like to extend my work & travel to UK and beyond! perhaps busy family yards and smaller situations…

Yes, definitely a live-in position will be required
