Experience with Horses
I have 10+ years working practically with horses, this experience has ranged from livery yards, to working with youngstock and dressage horses as well as within equine rehabilitation and hydrotherapy. I currently work as a freelance groom for a select few clients, and also offer equine sport and remedial massage services.
My previous work has also involved equine business development where I gained experience in content creation and social media management, as well as Wix website development. Within this role I also handled booking’s and implemented new systems within the running of the therapy centre. I am passionate about content creation and would like to develop my skills in this area. I also have a keen interest in equine research article writing and would like to start gaining experience in this field.

Strengths and Weaknesses
- What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
I enjoy the problem solving element in equine rehabilitation, and creating and implementing a pan working alongside other equine professionals. I enjoy teaching and passing on knowledge whether that be talking to owners or writing educated, interesting posts and articles with research based knowledge.
- Is there anything you’d like to improve?
I would like to improve my writing and journalist work, creating research based articles to educate. I would also like to improve my management and leaderships skills.
- Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
Aside from having 10+ years of hands-on experience within the industry, I have also gained a BSc first class degree in equine sport therapy and rehabilitation, and latterly, in 2023 a Masters in Equine Science from Hartpury University. I have a high level of knowledge on areas ranging from equine therapy and rehabilitation, nutrition, exercise physiology and biomechanics to rural business management. This has also enabled me to develop key academic skills such as: analytical and research skills, working closely to deadlines, presentation skills, project management, and critical analysis that may be directly transferred into the workplace.
I am passionate about what I do, and I take great pride and integrity in making sure my work is of the highest standard it can be.
Requirements
- What would you like to do or gain in your next job?
The opportunity to develop skills in equine knowledge transferral through different mediums and content creation. I would also like the opportunity for growth to management level and have the opportunity to have my voice heard, to work creatively within a business and collaborate on growth within the business. I would consider work within equine rehabilitation, in a therapy centre setting at management level.
