About me
My name is Kerry Slack, I’m 27 yrs old. I have been riding since I was 4yrs
old and working with horses since the age of 16. I started work in a riding stables where I trained for my BHS exams. I have
BHS certificates, Road and Ride Safety, Stage 1 to 3 care and Stage 1 and 2 riding. I am currently studying for my Stage 4
Intermediate Stable Managers exam. I have taught people from beginners to people wanting to learn a bit of lateral work. In
this time I also went to the British Racing School in Newmarket and acquired a Stud Management certificate.
When I left the Riding School I went on to be a hunt groom for a master of the
Essex North Foxhounds. I was in sole charge of 8 horses including one golden oldie and one young scallywag!! My duties were:
Feeding at 6:30, including hay and water
Mucking out
Exercising all horses, Hacking for 45mins
once fit, usually ride and lead., lunging all horses at least once a week, schooling all horses at least once a week.
Tack cleaning every day,
Any
clipping, trimming, mane/tail pulling
Grooming
Plaiting all horses up for hunting, grooming them, tacking them up, rugging them
up and loading them
Whilst here I acquired my Class 2 HGV license.
I also had the responsibility of handling a 2 yr old gelding and bringing on a
5yr old Irish Hunter brought over from Ireland.
I am currently breaking my own Welsh Sec A colt to drive and hoping
to produce him as a nice child's pony and do a bit of local showing.
There are also vacancies at one of the
yards I work at, so if you require Full or training livery, or even just a home for your horse/pony whilst you are on holiday,
feel free to contact me for further information
