About

My main objectives are to extend my knowledge within animal care, agriculture/farming. At present I work for an up and coming young Polo Player as Head Groom with total responsibility and care for a string of 8 polo ponies. Both professionally and personally I pride myself on maintaining high standards at all times.

I provide support/training to extra staff always willing to share my knowledge to help others. I have experience with every caliber of horse and am confident handler, and I am now looking to progress my career and gain further knowledge in all aspects of animal care.
