CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE
Summary

I completed one weeks work experience at Barbarafield riding school during my NC. I worked hands on with the horses assisting the other yard workers with feeding and mucking.

I was responsible for the preparation of the horses and bringing them out their riders.

Farm Worker
Blyth of Fife Ltd. －
Windygates,
Fife
As I grew up on the farm I was always a part of the work. When I was younger the farm had more hands on work with the animals which I was enjoyed. I was responsible for the care of the ducklings and piglets also assisting in the birthing of piglets.
As the farm swayed more to poultry I was in charge of running the main egg shed making up orders. I was also in charge of mucking the hens and maintaining their sheds. I also gained experience using heavy machinery such as tractors and forklifts.
