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.

Worked as a Showjumping groom at home and competitions, covering all aspects of horse care. Was also a rider, training and exercising horses from youngsters to grand prix level horses.

Worked as a coach at a boutique riding school all from 3-year-old children and beginners to children and adults jumping 1 meter

I competed my horses and horses I am riding on behalf up to 1.25m and Evented 90cm (although that is not my forte).

 

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 can work efficiently in a team or sole charge as I have great initiative and delegation skills. I have ridden younger and inexperienced horses and exercised top-level showjumping horses. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology and excellent writing and research skills. I can run social media platforms and make all types of content, as I am innovative and tech-savvy. I have handled horses 4 years and up, and am willing to learn about youngster and stallion handling. I have previously clipped and plaited but would need a small amount of practice to be competition-ready!

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

I enjoy the education of horses the most, meeting new milestones and teaching them something new. I find this very rewarding.

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?

I have a contagious personality that radiates positive energy, and I am efficient and a great team player. Fantastic communication skills and most of reliable! I have very soft and forgiving hands and seat, I am well established on the flat and over jumps and am a great problem solver.

Requirements

• What would you like to do or gain in your next job?

I want to gain further riding experience (starting to consistently jump 1.30cm). Due to attending University I could no longer compete and work through the heights, Something I would love to do.
