Experience with Horses

I have worked with a wide range of horses (and people!) livery, competition, youngstock, stallions and colts.

I enjoy working with young horses, backing them and bringing them into work – I find it very rewarding.

I started my managing role at a riding school and then later progressed into managing a full livery yard.

These roles included taking bookings, dealing with phone calls and emails. organizing staff and daily routines. riding a wide range of horses, managing staff , helping clients and backing young horses.

I have also worked with competition horses and have been responsible for packing the lorry, tacking up at shows, walking and washing horses off.
