Experience with Horses
I started riding at a riding school when I was eleven having not come from a horsey background. I then went onto The British Racing school when I was 18 and have worked at two racing stables since, my first one was Derek Shaws in Melton Mowbray and even though this was for only a short period of time I gained experience with mares and foals and young horses there. From there I went onto Kim Bailey Racing where I worked for seven years and I worked my way up to become 2nd Travelling Head Girl driving a two box. I also have my Level 2 in Racehorse Care.
Key Skills
My key skills would be turning horses out to a high level (winning many best turned out prizes). I am more than happy to work on my own and feel I am able to solve problems with my own initiative if need be however I am also used to working in a big team to complete jobs and keep moral up. I can and will be happy to drive a 3.5t horsebox if needed.
Strengths and Weaknesses
I enjoy working with horses as I enjoy being outside doing a very hands on job.
I feel like my knowledge in other areas of the equine industry could be improved as I do only really know racing.
I feel like I should be considered for the job role as I am willing to learn new things and ways of doing things, I have many years experience with thoroughbreds. I can also work as a team or on my own.
Requirements
I would like to gain more experience in different equine industries and something a bit more flexible than my current job.
I will be needing accommodation as I’m no longer allowed to stay where I currently live due to house being sold.
I currently don’t have any pets as I haven’t been allowed in previous accommodations therefore if pets were considered or allowed then I would look into getting a small dog.
I have left Kim Bailey racing and now work as a groom for a family with their polo ponies and hunters.
I have no holidays or anything booked in the foreseeable future.
Reception in the area I love isn’t very good, so leave a text or email and I will get back to you asap.
