Key Skills

Working alone, working with others, clipping, plaiting, mane pulling, turn out to high standard, bringing on younger horses, yard tidiness and cleanliness.

 

 

Strengths and Weaknesses

I enjoy the day to day challenge of whatever I’m faced with. Everyday is different even when in a routine, so the ability to adapt to the day in hand and resolve any issues.

 

I would love to improve my knowledge further. Getting experience in different disciplines as well as furthering my skills in the disciplines I am already familiar in.

 

I am always willing to learn and do not shy away from hard work. I’d rather there be a lot to do in a day than not enough as it keeps you busy and always thinking.

 

Requirements

I would like a hunting/ point to point/ eventing yard ideally but always open to other yards. The opportunity to progress within the yard is always a bonus.

 

Accommodation would be needed if not local to Cullompton/ Devon or if the job prefers it.

 

I currently have no animals of my own, however the opportunity for a horse or a dog to come later down the line would not be ruled out if it suited the employer.

 

I have no holidays booked and rarely actually go away properly!

Also have my First Aid at work qualification
