Meet the Team – Docklands Equestrian Centre

Corinne

Duty Manager

I have been a full-time staff member at Docklands Equestrian Centre for 5 years now, prior to that I was a stable girl for 3 years. During this time I have gained many qualifications including NVQ level 2 and 3 in Horse care and BHS exams stages 1, 2 Care and Riding and stage 3 Riding. I am currently training and studying towards my BHS Stage 3 Care exam. I have my own horse, which I have owned for 5 years and I regularly compete at a local level on him. I am currently looking for a young horse to produce myself and compete in show jumping. In the future I hope to work at a show jumping yard and compete my own horses at a high level.

Julie

Duty Manager

I have ridden at Docklands Equestrian Centre since I was 8 years old and have worked as a volunteer on the yard for the last 8 years. During that time I achieved my Stable Management ABRS A-E and 1-3. I became a staff member 3 years ago and have since completed my BHS stage 1 and 2 and Ride and Road Safety exam including my NVQ Level 2 in Horse care and Riding. I am looking forward to using all the experience I have gained at Docklands Equestrian Centre. I will continue to train and study for my exams to provide me with options for a career in the equine industry.
