Summary
Hi, my name is Maddy, and I’m a 20-year-old who has grown up on a fifth-generation farm, riding horses my entire life. I have been involved in pony club since I was five and have completed my B certificate.
After finishing school in 2022, I spent the 2022/23 summer working at a dressage stable's. I then went to polytechnic and completed a diploma in wellness massage before working at the meat works to fund my horse riding. Most recently, I have been a full-time polo groom for the 2024/25 season.
I take great pride in my work with horses, with a strong eye for detail and a dedicated, patient, and hardworking approach. I am reliable in managing tack, stalls, and daily routines, and I can provide references for my work.
I am leaving New Zealand on May 5th and moving to Brisbane, Australia, where my sister lives.
