Clara Garcia

Apprentice Groom/ Groom

Though I have never worked professionally with horses, I have been riding and having dressage lessons with a professional dressage rider for 6 years. So I can do most yard related tasks, since I used to help in the yard. The exceptions are trimming, pulling (did it very little) and clipping (never did it). Also have very limited experience doing plaits or braiding.

Because of my professional training and experience as a teacher, I have excellent communication skills, I have experience of planning and delivering educational or play sessions with children or young people and I am extremely aware of the importance of safeguarding procedures, which can be very useful in a riding school, for example.

I am not working with horses at the present. I work as a school teacher.
