Hi Anna...
- Have a look at all equestrian sports and the jobs in them with an open mind and decide what 10 areas/jobs are most suited/desirable to you....then take it down to 5.
- Study these 5 areas on the web and by talking to people who are successful and revise your top 5 if necessary...find out what qualifications are needed if any.
- Go and get work experience in these areas or related to these areas for at least a week in each one
- Decide on your top 2 and see if there is any common ground.
- Work backwards from these aims to goals and action steps.
- Get started with enthusiasm, energy and desire and use all the contacts and help you can muster.
- GENERALLY - Get wide experience, build wide contacts, love it or leave it and keep focussed on your aim.

Keep going..with your good attitude and a little more experience you will pass this examination...plus you will find many more important things to make a successful life. William

Glad the exam went well - fingers and toes crossed. You don't have to be perfect at everything to succeed.

Well - a mini-herd of two. Being my equine soul mate I will do my best to ensure Carrie has a home for life. Horse Number 2 is the dark bay mare on my photos (being ridden by a local instructor/trainer earlier this year). Head and heart have been in a costly dispute for some time over whether the two of us have a potential partnership.

Yes - the lovely Carrie, who is still part of my herd. That's a very unflattering picture of her in my profile - taken in February when it was wet and cold and with a scared look on her face because of the flash gun going off.

Hope you managed to get a decent night's sleep. I'll be thinking of you and sending you good vibes today.

Hi Anna, Good luck with your Stable Managers exam tomorrow! Best wishes for a successful outcome. Good vibes winging their way north. Maria

Hi Anna, Yes - rather a long time ago. Started off on a regular Saturday afternoon lesson with the lovely Tim B. Then had one of Jillie's school horse on part-lease over the winter and finally wore down (sorry persuaded) him indoors so he agreed we could 'buy' the mare. Kept her at RSF for another year and then moved her to a yard closer to home.

yes of course...give me the time span etc...william@enniskerry.net

Hi Anna...make sure my work is attributed...looking forward to meeting you one day...let me know how you get on in the coaching competition...W

Thanks for adding me as a friend Anna! And Congratulations on your wonderful acheivements (P.S. Agree with Sir William of Micklem re: the Coach moniker!! :) Great Job)

Hi Anna...so young Coach of the Year Finalist...quite an achievement...well done...it should be coach not instructor so my wording is deliberate...what attracted your attention re myself? William
