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 am an experienced rider and groom with a diverse background across dressage, polo, racing, rehabilitation, retraining and eventing yards. I have worked with horses ranging from youngstock and recently backed ponies to high-level competition horses, stallions and racehorses. My experience includes schooling, hacking, jumping, exercising competition horses, and riding horses for sales and viewings.

Alongside riding, I have extensive experience in horse care and yard management, including sole charge responsibilities, competition grooming, holiday cover, administering veterinary treatments, liaising with vets and farriers, monitoring rehabilitation programmes, and managing horses’ fitness and conditioning. I have worked independently and as part of large professional teams, maintaining high standards of horse welfare, organisation and client communication.

I am confident handling a wide variety of horses, including sensitive, young and challenging horses, both ridden and in hand. My freelance services include riding, schooling, exercise work, holiday cover, competition grooming, yard management and general horse care.

 

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

I am particularly confident, working both alone and as a part of a team. I have extensive sole-charge experience and can be trusted with the full care and management of horses and small yards.

I have experience retraining ex-racehorses and preparing horses for sale and client viewings as well as general exercising.
I am organised, reliable and proactive, with strong communication skills and a genuine commitment to high standards of both yard maintenance and horse care and welfare.
I am experienced with competition grooming and turning horses out to a high standard, having groomed at local, regional and national competitions, I enjoy clipping and plaiting. I am knowledgeable about horse welfare, rehabilitation programmes, basic veterinary care, recognising lameness and illness, and liaising with vets, farriers and physiotherapists.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

What I enjoy most about working with horses is seeing them thrive and succeed in their chosen discipline. I find it very rewarding to be part of a horse’s development, whether that’s helping a young horse gain confidence, bringing a horse back into work, supporting rehabilitation, or improving their performance through training and fitness work. I enjoy building positive relationships with horses and learning how each individual horse thinks and works. Knowing that the care, management and training I provide helps a horse feel and perform at its best is what I find most satisfying about the job.

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

I think there is always room to improve my riding. I have a solid foundation and am confident riding a wide variety of horses. I have not yet had the opportunity to compete at a particularly high level myself. I would like to continue developing my flatwork and overall riding skills through learning from experienced riders and instructors.
I would also really like to work on some bigger competition yards, as I really enjoy the role of competition groom. I just really would like to develop overall skills, as I have worked on a variety of yards due to my age and being in full time education up until last year meant I have had many short term roles, and I really enjoy finding the little things each yard and disciplines do from each other.
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker
While I may not have experience competing at the highest levels or working in 5* event yards, I bring a broad range of knowledge and hands-on experience across multiple equestrian disciplines. This has made me adaptable, quick to learn, and confident working with a variety of horses and management systems. I am hardworking, reliable, and eager to contribute to a team while continuing to develop my skills. I believe my versatility, strong work ethic, and positive attitude make me a valuable addition to any yard.
