Experience with Horses
- I have extensive experience working with horses, particularly in the showjumping industry. My skills include daily horse care, stable management, feeding, grooming, tacking up, lunging, and handling competition horses. I am confident in working with different temperaments and ensuring the well being of each horse. Additionally, I have experience assisting riders at competitions, preparing horses for events, and maintaining their fitness and condition. My passion for equine care drives my commitment to providing top quality management and handling.
Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
What I love most about working with horses is the deep bond and trust that develops over time. There’s something incredibly rewarding about understanding each horse’s unique personality and needs, whether it’s caring for them daily, watching them progress in training, or seeing them perform at their best in competition.
• Is there anything you’d like to improve?
I’m always looking to refine my skills, whether it’s expanding my knowledge of equine nutrition, improving training techniques, or learning more about injury prevention and rehabilitation. There’s always more to learn in the equestrian world, and I’m eager to grow and develop as a professional.
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
Employers should consider me because I bring more than just experience … I bring honesty, reliability, dedication and a genuine passion for horse care. I understand that working with horses isn’t just a job, it’s a responsibility that requires patience, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic.
What sets me apart is my ability to handle each horse as an individual, ensuring their well being and peak performance. I’m not just task oriented, but take pride in the quality of my work, whether it’s maintaining a well run stable, preparing horses for competition, or assisting riders.
Additionally, I am adaptable, a quick learner, and always willing to go the extra mile. I don’t just meet expectations, I exceed them, ensuring that both horses and riders receive top quality care and support.
Requirements
• What would you like to do or gain in your next job?
In my next job, I would like to expand my experience in the professional equestrian world, particularly in high level showjumping or competition yards. I want to refine my skills in horse care, stable management, and competition preparation while also learning from top professionals in the industry.
• Do you need accommodation?
