    • Lavant Equestrian

      Aug 2019 - Jul 2022

      After Volunteering for 2 years prior, I received my first 'proper job', during my time here I had learnt valuable teamwork and interpersonal skills learning to communicate and operate as part of a team. I had learnt many specific equestrian skills such as to: tack / untack quickly and efficiently; catch in / turn out; groom; communicate with members of the general public / clients/ children; help out with pony clubs days / low level lessons with less experienced riders (commonly children) Show less

      Starting Originally for my bronze Duke of Edinburgh award, I continued this around the Covid-19 pandemic for roughly a year. During this time, I have learnt a lot about teamwork and leadership, as well as working with children and abiding by safeguarding regulations. As well as this I have learnt entry level first aid which has proven useful in every day life.

      Arena Party / Collecting Ring Steward

      Casual Work at Coombelands Equestrian in Pulborough.On show days I work as either a collecting ring steward / arena party where I either greet and call people into the ring at their predetermined time, or I maintain a clean and tidy arena whilst the horses are jumping. Additionally I liaise with course builders / judges to help build the courses and help the day run smoothly. On other days I come up and help maintain the jumps by restoring old poles and wings helping them look fresh and ready for a show or to be hired out for training. I also help build the courses for following days where I always appreciate the opportunity to meet and learn from the course builders whilst they explain the course they have designed. Show less

      Work Experience Week

      During this week, I had received my first full insight into life on the ground working at a horseracing yard with Amanda Perrett Racing. I had completed a 50 hour week where I learnt the day to day life of an exercise rider, being able to witness the horses up on the gallops, and complete small tasks such as keeping a tidy yard / maintain the hydrotherapy pool.

      Yard Assistant

      Casual yard work at Nick Gifford's racing yard in Findon, W. Sussex. having learnt a lot about the horse racing industry from the inside, my time here has influenced my decision to go on to study a BSc in International Horseracing Business at Hartpury University in Gloucester.

    • Forest Farm Riding School

      Oct 2024 - now

      50 hours over one week of work experience with Sue Orpen from Forest Farm Teaching and Livery. During this time I completed some menial tasks around the yard and in return received 6 riding lessons riding a variety of different horses over jumps and on flat. During my time on horseback, I had learnt a lot about the process of schooling horses - I look forward to using my knowledge from this experience in my own riding. Additionally I received a brief lesson in clipping horses from business partner Lauren Glasspool which I hope I am able to build upon in the future. Show less
