Experience with Horses
I have over 15 years experience working in the industry. I am a professional rider, competing abroad in Grand Cayman at the equivalent of BD Elementary and training in Advanced Medium level. I am from Ireland and have worked in a dressage competition yard in the UK for several years.
I school, exercise and train horses ridden and in hand and take part in clinics regularly with 3/4/5* judges.
Currently coaching children and adults too.
I can groom, clip, pull manes, bandage, mucking out, tack up, lunge, plait, and turn out to high standard.
I am looking for a rider role, happy to take on some yard duties and manager role.
Training a must and possibility to bring own horse, however this isn’t a necessity.
Key Skills
I am good at working from my own initiative, I can work alone and as part of a team. I have a fun, can do attitude, friendly and work hard. I’m good at schooling young and established horses and can turn out to a high standard.
