Experience with Horses.
Been involved with horses the better part of 30 years, competed to 1.40 Showjumping and 1 star eventing. I am qualified international Level 3 instructor- BHSI equivalent.
Having owned and run a livery/ riding school I have learnt to adapt to the demands and pressures that come with the job.
Can do most maintenance work, welding, fencing electrical etc.
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
My Forte is instruction, quick to recognise faults and able to find solutions.
Can handle and work with all types of horses in a calm gentle manner.
Quick to learn new tasks.
Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
Their quiet understanding of humans. Horses really try to understand what is required from us and will do anything to comply
• Is there anything you’d like to improve?
I feel we have lost our way with regards to horsemanship, modern day riders are only after instant success.
I would love to see a more holistic approach to competitive riding.
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
I am experienced, enthusiastic and not scared to work. Well spoken and generally well liked.
