Equine Work Experience
I am comfortable working with children, and get along with them great! Most recently, I worked at an eventing yard, given sole or dual charge of 40-odd horses of many types and energy levels. I have worked in a small riding school in the Cotswolds, preparing horses and ponies for their riding lessons at the scheduled time. I have worked with and owned horses throughout my life, from show jumping in New Zealand on a 12hh welsh pony to helping to bring a 17.2hh dressage horse back into work and learned/assisted in all aspects of horse care.
Type of Ride Work
I've been working primarily with my own warmblood over the last 3 years, though my current position at a riding school has opened me up to cob-types. I ride on the flat, establishing basic groundwork of shapes and paces being straight and through rather than any lateral work (which I am eager to learn how to ride if needed/possible). Jumping is rare, however I am comfortable to pick it up again.
