Summary
With 17+ years of experience in equine welfare and investigations, I possess a proven track record of successful prosecutions. My extensive knowledge of equine husbandry, nutrition, basic veterinary care, and overall health enables effective assessment and addressing of horses' needs. Well-versed in various equestrian disciplines, I exhibit excellent communication and people skills. Thriving under pressure, I handle difficult equine owners with professionalism and empathy. Alongside my investigative work, I have trained junior inspectors, field officers, and outreach inspectors. Committed to providing education to owners in informal settlements and related equestrian disciplines like informal racing.
