I have been riding horses for 27 years and thoroughly enjoy being around them. I have owned my own horse for around 16 years and taken part in many Pony Club events. I currently event my horse to grassroots level and am a member of British Eventing. I very very competent around these animals and am used to riding competition-type horses. Alongside my passion for horses, I have skills of a personal assistant such as organisation and communication. I am also extremely resilient and love a challenge.

I enjoy working alone but also having a team around me. I am competent with clipping, I can plait the mane and french plait the forelock, I take great attention to detail when it comes to caring for the horse’s appearance and coat condition, I am proactive and always looking for ways I can improve.

Not only do I have great administration skills but I am also very competent around all animals. I put 100% effort into everything I do and I am always striving to be the best that I can be. I am very resilient and will keep going when I am passionate about something.
