I have five years of experience in the horse racing industry and I am now entering my fourth season of point-to-point race riding, where I have achieved one win and many placings aboard my own horse. I am a hard-working, reliable individual who is extremely ambitious. I have high standards in my work and can work well in a team or on my own and will use my initiative daily.
