Experience with Horses
I have been lucky enough to have owned horses all my life and wouldn’t know life without them. I currently own 2 rescue horses, my beautiful 16hh chestnut mare who is a happy hacker and a wonderful miniature Shetland.
I competed in my teenage years but lost interest in that side of things and now am just a leisure rider. Over the years I have worked at livery yards, studs and a dressage yard, both with a team and sole charge.
I also worked full time as a riding instructor and groom at a very successful equestrian centre a few years ago and then returned there to run their office for a few months.
My main work experience with equines was working full time for 7 years at a rehabilitation and rehoming yard for a well known charity. Rescue equines are my passion and I loved every aspect of it, particular the veterinary side of things as well as the behavioural and conditioning work. I worked as a Groom there for a couple of years before moving up to the management team, I was Centre Supervisor and then interim Centre Manager before I left the charity. I now run my own self started pet care business, Love Lacey Pet Care. I offer dog walking, cat sitting and equine services and have been running full time for almost 4 years now.
I have gained my BHS exams up to Stage 3 and I have an NVQ Level 3 in Equine Business Management, which qualifies me to act as a Yard Manager for up to 7 horses, although I have managed a much larger yard.
I also specialise in donkey and mule care and have my Donkey Sanctuary Stage 4 certificate in Equine behaviour and management focusing mainly on donkeys.

Requirements
I am looking for a new challenge and a fresh start after a difficult couple of years going through a divorce. I have a beautiful, animal loving 7 year old daughter, a wonderful partner and 3 special rescue dogs who I would like to relocate with for the right position. I am open to different areas but would like to be able to travel home to Chichester some weekends.
