Future Requirements
• What would you like to do or gain in your next job?
Seeking a hands-on equine role in an ethical environment that respects horses’ natural needs (nutrition, movement, and socialization) and fosters professional growth. While my priority is working directly with the horses, I am also experienced and equipped to take on Stable Manager duties.
• Do you need accommodation?
It depends on where the job is
• Do you have any special requirements for any animals you wish to bring with you?
I have three indoor cats; I have always taken them with me and they don’t cause any damage. I also havr a horse, but I can look for accomodation near my workplace.
• Do you have any ongoing commitments?
No
• Do you have any holidays booked that an employer needs to know of?
No
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.
In recent years, I have gained extensive international experience working as a groom and flat rider at show jumping stables in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. I also worked at a breeding farm in Tuscany, where I gained hands-on experience with foaling and the backing of 3-year-olds. Additionally, I have experience with trail and hacking horses; for two years, I rode in the Euganean Hills, developing confidence and autonomy in horse management in open environments.
I hold a degree in Sports Science and have worked as a swimming and rugby instructor for both children and adults, which has allowed me to develop excellent interpersonal, organizational, and team management skills.
I would also like to mention that I relocate with my partner, Manuele (39), a personal trainer with experience managing his own fitness center in Parma, who currently works alongside me in the stable providing operational support.
Having recently concluded our time abroad, we have just returned to Italy. We are available immediately and highly motivated to continue our professional careers. I remain at your disposal for further information or to arrange an interview.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Francesca
