Experience with Horses
I have broken and produced my own 3yr old horse and am currently producing my own 5yr old Connemara to Showjump and do Dressage and Teamchase.
I have schooled all sorts of horses, from beginners ponies to true showjumping/eventing horses.
I have a particular interest in grooming and have often turned horses out to a very high standard to compete in BE, NSEA, BS and to hunt.
I had experience handling 2yr olds and high strung sport horses. I can muckout and do all yard duties to a high standard and pride myself on a neat yard. We have 3 seperate yards where I currently work and I manage one of those with my boss, and when she is away I will manage it by myself.
I have also been given the opportunity to compete a few times on a clients horse.
