"I am 23 years old and have been riding horses since I was nine. From 2015 to 2020, I actively competed in dressage and show-jumping events. In 2022, I began working with horses abroad, continuing to grow my skills and experience in the equestrian field."
What was the first job you found on YardandGroom?
My first job that I found on YardandGroom was in Italy, working as a riding guide, and I’ve been returning there every season for three years now. During the winter, I also found a job in Germany at a sales stable, where I go to work for the winter months.
Where has your equestrian career taken you?
My equestrian career has taken me across Europe. I began in Italy, where I worked as a riding guide, and later expanded my experience to Germany, spending the winter seasons in a sales stable. Each place has taught me something different and helped me grow both as a rider.
How did YardandGroom help your career?
YardandGroom has helped my career a lot by making it much easier to find jobs. It gave me access to opportunities I wouldn’t have discovered on my own and allowed me to connect with employers quickly and efficiently.
What advice would you give to an equestrian jobseeker starting out?
My advice would be to stay open-minded and not be afraid to start small. Every job teaches you something valuable. Make sure your profile is complete and honest, and don’t hesitate to apply even if you feel you’re missing a bit of experience. Be reliable, work hard, and always keep learning. Good opportunities come to people who show commitment and a positive attitude.
What’s your favourite memory/photo from your career so far?
Working in Italy is my dream job, and honestly the whole experience is one big favourite memory for me. Every season brings new moments to treasure, so it’s hard to choose just one photo or memory - the place itself feels unforgettable.
Do you have any career-defining moments?
Yes, a major career-defining moment for me was leaving my home country and taking jobs abroad. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and showed me that I could succeed abroad. That step opened many doors for me and shaped the direction of my whole equestrian career.
Who is your horsey hero?
All the horses that have come into my life are my heroes. Each one has its own character and something unique to teach. Every horse is special in its own way, and they’ve all helped shape me into the rider I am today.
Who’s your all-time favourite horse?
I don’t have one single all-time favourite horse - every horse I’ve worked with has been a favourite in its own way. Each of them has a different personality and something special that makes them unforgettable to me.
