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.

Looking for Live-In Groom and Rider positions. With 30 years of comprehensive equine experience, I am looking for a low-key, dedicated role where I can provide exceptional care and reliable exercise for your horses.
Throughout my three decades in the industry, I have mastered all aspects of stable management, including daily yard chores, feeding, rugging, and maintaining impeccable standards of health and safety.
For the riding portion of the role, my focus is strictly on safe, low-stress hacking, outrides, and basic exercise to keep leisure or family horses fit, happy, and well-behaved.
Key details regarding my application:
    • Experience: 30 years of professional and practical hands-on horse care.
    • Position Type: Seeking a live-in arrangement only.
    • Transit & Driving: I hold a clean, valid UK driver’s license. While I do not currently own a personal car, I am fully licensed and available to operate any estate-provided vehicles (such as yard trucks, ATVs, or trailers) on or around the property as required.

I would love the opportunity to discuss how my decades of experience can bring peace of mind to your yard. Thank you for your time and consideration.

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

OUTRIDES AND ALL OTHER GROOMING RELATED DUTIES.  DONE SOME EQUINE BODYWORK THERAPY – NON PROFESSIONAL

 

Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

HORSES ARE MY THERAPY.  THEY ARE GENTLE GIANTS.  WATCHING THEM TRUST AND GROW IN CONFIDENCE AS YOU WORK WITH AND TEACH THEM IN THE CORRECT MANOR.  THIS IS THE MOST REWARDING THING FOR ME.

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

ALWAYS ROOM TO IMPROVE AS EVERY HORSE HAS SOMETHING TO TEACH EVERY RIDER!

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

I AM AN HONEST, HARDWORKING AND RELIABLE PERSON.  GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY – I WILL WORK HARDER THAN ANY OTHER PERSON WHEN IT IS REGARDING THE HORSE.
