BIO:
After leaving school I entered the equine industry carrying out my apprenticeship at a riding stable/livery yard. Here I gained my SVQ's level 2 and level 3, both in horse care & management with riding. From her
e I went on to Bishop Burton College to study Equine Management, Business & Equitation where I gained my degree in Equine Science. Whilst studying I gained more experience working for Summit Media at their Polo Yard, at weekends during my first year. I went on to work on the college yard over the summer along with working at an equine only veterinary practise covering a period of staff illness & holidays. On completion of my degree I went on to work as an assistant manager for a private showing yard in North Yorkshire where I looked after 7 horses, helped with backing youngsters and bringing others back into work and ready for competition. I now own my own thoroughbred ex-race horse who has been part of my life over the last 8 years, and a little Welsh Section A who I took on from World Horse Welfare approximately a year ago. Having owned my own dogs for many years and having dogs as part of my family my whole life I decided it was time to incorporate them into my working life as well! Business Goal:
My aim for each client is to enhance quality of life for your equine or pet. I would like to meet all clients before or at first bookings along with their owners to get to know their own routines so I can keep these the same as much as possible to try and reduce any unnecessary stress which could be created by someone new entering their environment. Infection Control:
In light of our ever changing environment I require customers to advise if they are feeling unwell before I enter their premises. In event of someone with covid-19 (or a similar strain) needing help caring for their animals, I will wear full PPE when around them and leave my used PPE for that client to dispose of with along their house hold waste on my departure. I will also regularly use hand sanitizer where hot water is not available to wash my hands between clients from different locations, along with gloves and other items of PPE if I feel are necessary to protect you as my client and myself (along with my family). I have also been vaccinated against COVID-19.
*This service has public liability insurance and 3rd party insurance, to cover against any unforeseen situations. I am also a member of the British Grooms Association, my insurance for freelance work is through KBIS*
