I have taken lessons on and off when I was younger and then started riding and training consistently 6 years ago. I have ridden and trained a variety of horses through leasing and riding for others. I have had extensive training in horsemanship and groundwork, have done some jumping, and regularly trail ride. Over the past five years I have worked part time at two separate barns doing daily barn chores. I have experience doing all aspects of daily horse care including grooming, feeding, turning out, mucking out and cleaning pastures, changing blankets, administering medication, and basic first aid. During my time at university I took classes in equine science, equine behaviour and learning, and facilities management. I was also part of the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus varsity equestrian team which competed in a league focused on catch riding and equitation.
