Experience with Horses

Outline your experience with horses here/the scope of your freelance services. If you’re looking for a non-equine or non- yard-based job please use this space to describe your experience skills/abilities and adapt the questions to suit your line of work.

I am looking for an equine job that I will be able to be taught more in the groom and riding area. Growing up, I grew up on a race yard with many racehorses on the yard at once.  I have ridden all sorts of horses from the age of 4 and previously stopped for a few years during covid but since then I have been riding again including competing in unaffiliated show jumping. I am comfortable to be able to complete yard jobs and handle a range of horses.

 

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

I am particularly good at working both alone and in a team setting. I enjoy all yard duties but would love to learn more about the grooming side of the equestrian community. I have ridden a range of horses from young ex racehorses to happy hacking cobs.
