Description

Hi there!
I am a 32-year old Austrian that moved to Utrecht last August to work as a scientist at the UMC-U. Since I really miss being outside and around horses regularly, I am looking again for a horse to take care of 2x a week. I am happy to pay a contribution or help out with the stable duties when I am there, during the week I can only come in the evenings due to my full-time job.

Briefly about my experience, until 2 years ago I had my own horse (for 16 years; you see him in the picture) who sadly passed away due to old age. I have a good basic knowledge and training in English style riding (dressage, jumping both at level A) and completed my 'licence' (which would be the bronze one in Germany as far as I know) when I was 13 years old. The past years I have been mostly riding outside (forest hacks) and working from the ground, whatever was possible and made my horse happy. If there would be a riding track to do also some gymnastics/dressage training every now and then would be great. But anyways, I am quite flexible and happy to hear about options.

For me it would be important that I click with the horse, but also with the owner and the stable (that horses are out for >3h per day). I am very reliable and due to many years with horses, also have an eye for seeing how a horse is not doing good etc. I don't have my car here, so Utrecht area and reachability by bike or public transport (30-35min) would be amazing.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
