Experience with Horses
- Worked for 2 5* event riders, done 4 seasons freelancing on a hunt yard with stud groom/ sole charge along with freelancing for another 5* event/ dressage yard
- Set up my own yard at 21yrs old, building stables/ ménage from scratch, where I bought unbacked 3yr olds, backed them myself and produced them through the young event horse classes up to 4*, along with providing backing livery, schooling livery, competition livery, sales livery, having an owner in Ireland who would send me horses to sell on his behalf. Providing training and lessons for clients at home and shows. Also having 2 of my own stallions and 2 broodmares, I bred 5 foals. After 11 years I went to be sole charge stud groom where I’ve been since early 2022.
