  • Description

    I love to travel to new places and help people and animals as I go. I have ridden and owned horses since I was young and love spending time looking after animals. I have spent November 2024 until March 2025 as a guide for horse rides in Ushuaia, Argentina. I can speak conversational Spanish and would love to learn to speak fluently.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a very experienced horse rider, having competed in British Eventing events as well as some polo events whilst at university. I am also experienced looking after horses and can handle difficult horses, my horsemanship is very good and I know how to approach nervous animals. I kept my last horse on a racing yard so I understand the fundamentals of how these yards work.

    I have spent over 3 months working as a horse riding tour guide in Ushuaia, Argentina where the work included all maintenance and looking after the horses, as well as preparing for the rides and leading them as a guide.

    I love all animals and have looked after dogs and cats for much of my life, having grown up with dogs and cats.

    I would love to learn to look after other kinds of animals, though I don’t have experience looking after livestock.

    My professional trade is technology consulting, and I have 4 years experience in a professional services firm helping organisations to transform their businesses using technology.

    I speak conversational Spanish and would love to become fluent in Spanish.
