Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

The thing I find most rewarding from working with horses and other animals is the relationship/bond/trust you are able to form.  Any animal be it horse or guinea pig, it can only be built on trust and a frankly basic understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

 

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

I would very much like to improve my knowledge and understanding of everyone and every being I am close to.

 

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

I am hard working and just won’t to learn as much as I can.  “Life” has interfered, prohibited and got in the way of my ultimate goals too much already, it is time to fully pursue my life goals

Requirements

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

I would desperately like to gain more riding experience, after being out of the saddle for 10+ years I know I have the potential to get back to my earlier abilities, but I need the helo and training in order to do so.

• Do you need accommodation?

Yes

• Do you have any special requirements for any animals you wish to bring with you?

I have a house cat, she is very important to me but also extremely well behaved.  We have a special relationship and bond that only other animal-lovers can understand.  She is very well behaved and not at all destructive, a safe addition to any household.

 

• Do you have any ongoing commitments?

My current circumstances allow myself every Wednesday as my day off in order to collect my nephew from school.

• Do you have any holidays booked that an employer needs to know of?
