  • Description

    Hi. I am 26 years old Nurse who loves to travel especially northern countries.
    Here in Switzerland I live in the city but as soon as I get the chance I go out on the country side. I love the mountains and I love new adventures.
    I grew up with Horses so I started Horse Back Riding before I was able to walk. I ride english at home but do have western experience thanks to my previews stays in Canada. I have worked on two horse training facilities which specialized in cow horses. On top of that, when I get the chance I like driving horses with my father.
    At the moment I work with 3 horses. I do have experience with starting them with ground work and riding them while respecting and evaluating their individual level of training.
    In summer I often go on the Farm of my relatives to help and enjoy farm life.
    For 6 Years I was a member of the volunteer Fire Departement of my home town. There I gained experience in fire- fighting procedures, rescue services and technical
    support. I was also apart of the Rope rescue team which provided me training in assessing risk, personal protection, technique of knots and bindings, assessing and setting anchoring, working on steep precipitation and rappelling myself or each other with secure safety techniques and systems.
    I have spent my summers on different farms I learned the basics on milking cows, checking cows, doing field work, such as driving different types of tractors or some good old massey ferguson combines. .
    I am open to learn new things and increase my experiences, especially if it comes to horses or working on the farm.
    I am an animal lover open for new things:)
