Summary

I have been around horses for all my life, I have small private yard where I am responsible for the daily care, health, and wellbeing of my horses. My duties include feeding, grooming, mucking out, exercising, and monitoring their general condition. I take pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and organization within the yard and always ensure the horses receive attentive, compassionate, and consistent care. My experience has given me a solid understanding of equine behaviour, routine healthcare, and the responsibilities involved in managing a stable environment.

I am a dedicated, hardworking and self motivated individual. I thrive both on my own or as part of a team, i acknowledge what need to be done without being asked and complete it to a high standard. From my experience working with young thoroughbreds has taught me invaluable skills such as the importance of calmness and consistency in challenging and unpredictable situations. My friendly and people focused nature helps me build strong relationships with those i work with as well as clients/owners. Also by working as a receptionist in a car dealership taught be the importance of communication skills with others. I am passionate about delivering my best every day and making a positive impact wherever i can
