Reliable hardworker looking for a Grooms position

I have worked at Stoneleigh as arena staff
Wright and Moreton (Somerford Park) as work experience
Hargate Hill Equestrian Centre
Copper Beaches livery Yard

I have been in my present position for just over a year, working for a very busy equestrian centre, looking after and caring for the college/riding school horses as well as the horses on livery. I work as part of a very small team so self motivation and using my initiative is paramount to my role. I am able to follow instructions given by the yard manager and also speak daily to clients who have their own requests, I am asked at times to ride their horses for them.

Every day can throw up new challenges, i have experienced lameness/ colic and even euthanasia,

Every horse is different and I enjoy the challenge of getting to know them and how to deal with difficault personalities,

I am passionate about horses and feel privileged to be part of their care and well being.
