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.

I have 20 years of solid, continuous experience working in premier endurance and breeding stables across the Middle East. Since 2016, I have been working as a Senior Endurance Rider and Groom at the prestigious MRM Stable in Dubai. Prior to this, from 2007 to 2015, I worked for 8 years at the Al Sharef Haza Stable in Saudi Arabia.

 

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

Fearless Stallion Handling: Highly confident and expert in handling high-spirited stallions, crazy horses, mares, and young stock safely.

• Advanced Equine Care: Excellent at working alone or with a team, managing yard routines, stable hygiene, and looking after horse welfare independently.

• Endurance Conditioning: Highly skilled in checking trot-up soundness, vital monitoring, and post-exercise recovery routines.

• Non-Equine Skills: Possess a valid UAE driving license and am highly experienced in operating stable utility vehicles and handling yard logistics.

 

Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

I most enjoy building a bond of trust with difficult or high-spirited horses, especially stallions. Seeing a horse recover well after intensive endurance training and maintaining their peak health gives me great professional satisfaction.

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

While my professional horse skills are highly advanced, I would like to improve my conversational German language skills so that I can communicate even better with the local yard team in Europe.

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

Employers should consider me because I bring 20 years of continuous, high-level experience from elite stables like MRM in Dubai. I am completely fearless with difficult horses, highly dependable when working alone, and uniquely skilled in clinical care like administering injections and IV drips.
