A highly experienced and dedicated equestrian with over 30 years of practical horse care and riding experience.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

What I enjoy most about working with horses is the relationship and trust that develops through daily care and consistent handling. I find great satisfaction in seeing improvement, whether that’s through correct schooling, fitness work, or simply good management. Producing youngsters and managing my ex-racehorse has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of getting the basics right.

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

I’m always looking to improve my knowledge, particularly in areas such as equine fitness and rehabilitation management. While I have many years of practical experience, I believe there’s always more to learn, especially with evolving training methods and welfare.

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

Employers should consider me because I bring over 30 years of hands-on horse experience alongside professional reliability and organisational skills gained from outside the equestrian industry. I’m used to responsibility, health and safety compliance, transport management, and working under pressure. I combine practical horsemanship with maturity, strong work ethic, and a genuine commitment to equine welfare.
