My goal is to improve my Horse Riding level and become a better Horseman. something that motivates me is learning I worked and volunteered as a stable hand in QLD and Western Australia I was working with mainly Thoroughbreds and Quater Horses.

More details about your skills
I was a professional chef by trade crom the age of 18-23 so that's a skill I can bring to the table. I have also done various farm jobs in Australia fruitpicking from Strawberries, Blackberries and I worked on a banana farm. I'm physically strong and hardworking I'm a great team player and also able to use my own initiative I keep calm under pressure I'd say that's from years of working in restaurants.
