Description

I am originally from New Zealand and currently live in Berlin, Germany. I am mad about horses especially but love animals generally and would love to find a place where I can volunteer and work with horses and animals. I love the outdoors and farm life and travel and experiencing different cultures on a day to day level rather than popping through as a tourist.

I have a lot of experience with kids too and of taking care of things around the house generally, including cooking. I was previously a yoga and pilates teacher and I love movement, and generally keeping fit and healthy.

As a person I am very cheerful, have heard it said that I can get along well with anyone, hardworking, very responsible, and flexible. I love learning and experiencing new things and challenges.

More details about your skills

I love working with horses and have some experience doing this. I owned my own horses and took care of them both turned out and when stabled. Some of my horses and ponies were young horses that I brought on to do very amateur low level eventing in New Zealand. Some of these were thoroughbred horses that came from the racetrack so I am used to horses that have a bit of energy. In Germany I did training with instructors on the flat and show jumping at a stables for breeding Trakehener horses. I also got some experience with the stallions there, as well as with mares and foals. Recently I have been travelling to Ireland to learn how to do hunting and cross country in Galway, which has been great fun.

I think horses behave quite differently in different places in the world and the riding is approached very differently too which I find very interesting and I love to learn more to improve both my riding and how I approach horses as I think there is always something new to learn and improve on.
