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.

I have over 13 years of expirience with horses. Over the summers I used to do all the required chores around the stable; cleaning, feeding, preparing the horses for riders leading riding lessons and lungeing. I also have some expirience with riding younger unsettled horses. In 2016 I have passed my Equestrian Skills Certificate – Brązowa Odznaka Jeździecka
Issued by the Polish Equestrian Federation (PZJ). Confirms practical and theoretical knowledge in horse care, riding (flatwork and jumping), and stable management. Comparable to the British Horse Society Stage 1 qualification.

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 am particularly skilled at working both independently and as part of a team. I’m comfortable handling and riding young or unsettled horses, and I have strong experience in stable management, basic first aid for horses, lungeing, and preparing horses for lessons or leisure riders. I also adapt quickly to new environments and I’m reliable when it comes to completing routine yard tasks to a high standard.
