Hi my name is Sarah and I am 18 years old. I know it is early yet but I am returning to Ontario for the summer (after completing my remaining 2 years of high school in the NWT where my parents live, which has hindered the amount of time I would usually spend with horses but has not affected my competency of horses and working around them), and want to work at a farm, not at McDonald's or Tim Hortons so I am getting a jump start on looking for employment. When taking lessons I did 6 months of formal dressage training with a level 4 coach that was trained and raised in Vienna where she trained with the Lipizzaner Stallions. After that I took about a year off before commencing with more training. When I started up again I took up hunter/jumper as it was more my style. At the new trainer I was not just limited to hunter/jumper but was also exposed to eventing, western pleasure and western gaming.
It was here that I started training riders and horses. I have taught beginner to advanced lessons (in all mentioned disciplines) as well as therapeutic lessons and summer camps to multiple students with great success. I have also trained horses (yearlings) as well as molding/continuing training with more advanced horses. I have a strong connection with horses and have an uncanny ability to work with and "break" the horses that people have problems with.
On top of working with horses and lesson kids I was top at the barn with daily-chores, turn in/out etc. and worked with a multitude of breeds, ages and sexes of horse trained in various disciplines along with being a groom for trillium and "a" rated shows.
As an individual I have great people skills that I have developed by working in a grocery/retail store here in the North.
Usually I would work at my family farm in Ontario but there has been some trouble in the family that does not permit me to run lessons and camps like I had planned to.
I will be living in Springbrook and have my own transportation (along with a valid class 5 [Ontario g equivalent] license) so housing is not an issue. I am looking at a paid position not a summer student position that would allow me free board as I already have that with my grandparents for both my horses. I have not ever driven farm equipment but am a fast learner and at the time I am learning to drive a 5 tonne truck (which is stick) and am competent at driving with trailers/loads on. I am also not limiting myself to work with horses, I would be very interested working with other farm animals as well.
Resume and references are available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you. At the moment the easiest way to contact me is via email.
