Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

I really enjoy ensuring that the need’s of the horse are met to the highest of standards.

I enjoy seeing the progress of a horse’s journey from yearlings to breaking in, ridden away then produced to their specific sphere.

I’m also extremely passionate about keeping the horse as healthy as possible, well groomed, feeding requirements and all other needs are taken care of to the highest standards possible.

 

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

I think working in the Equestrian world there are alway’s thing’s that you can improve on.

It should be a constant learning curve and actively developing skills to better yourself therefore providing a higher standard of work and service’s for the yard I’m on and the horse’s under my care.

I’m a very reliable and loyal person.
