Level 3 Higher Distinction in Horse Care A (not so) short introduction ......... My name is Jo and I've owned/loved pets for as long as I can remember. You name it, I've had one (or maybe 2 or 3 ....) dogs, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish!!!Horses - have been in my blood since I got my

first pony at the age of 10! Since then I've had every type/breed imaginable ...... from naughty kids ponies, to hormonal mares and progesterone fuelled stallions. I'm now more than happy with my 14.2hh, leg in each corner, Welsh Cob X, gelding.I've worked on producers yards, stud farms, livery yards and riding schools. I'm passionate, confident, experienced and reliable and will treat every equine client as my own. I have very high "house keeping" standards and an acute awareness of bio-security. I have various equine qualifications (certificates in relevant album) including Level 3 Horse Care and Equine First Aid, and am continuously furthering my portfolio with ongoing courses.Dogs - again, I can't remember a time when I haven't had a dog and strongly believe that a house is not a home without one. I've had all sorts of breeds over the years ranging from Jack Russels to Spaniels and from Staffordshire Bulls to Bull Mastiffs. I've also done a small amount of volunteering at various rescue centres.I'm experienced, compassionate, patient and confident around all breeds. All dogs will be cared for and looked after as if they were my own. My background is in retail management - 7 years as Deputy Manager at Pets at Home, followed by 4 years as Store Manager at Robinsons Equestrian. Within these roles I gained various qualifications, both external and in-house. The certificates I can find can be viewed in the relevant album. Also hold a Puppies and Dogs 1st aid certificate. So, if you're still reading, that's me! If you think I can lend a helping hand to you and your 4 legged family members please get in touch. All services are fully bespoke and I offer a no obligation, free of charge consultation. Here I will take some basic info, answer any initial questions, arrange a meet & greet and discuss your requirements.Fully InsuredDBS CheckedBGA and BHS MemberSafeguarding certificate held

Many of us consider poo picking to be a bit of a โ€˜necessary evilโ€™ when we own a horse.

We remove manure mainly to help manage the worm burden of our horses but did you know that there are several other benefits tooโ“โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฉ It improves grazing quality. Piles of manure, if left, will starve the grass underneath of air & light which leaves bald patches of ground. These patches are ideal for ragwort to grow in. The better the pasture, the more difficult it is for ragwort to grow.
๐Ÿ’ฉ Manure attracts flies so if you remove it, that means less flies hanging around to irritate and bite your horse.
๐Ÿ’ฉ Manure contains phosphorus and nitrogen which can run off the pasture and into the local watercourse which impacts the balance between aquatic weeds and aquatic life. Composted manure does not present such a problem as the nutrients become more stable during the composting process so are less likely to leach away.
๐Ÿ’ฉ It helps keep us fit! Walking, bending, stretching is all good exercise for us!

So all that poo picking is definitely worth it โ€“ itโ€™s good for our horses, our pasture & us too!
