Apprenticeships
Michelle offers apprenticeship placements on the White Horse Liveries team, working with Haddon Training Ltd to deliver structured on-the-job training for anyone at the start of their career. Students are also welcomed for work experience as part of their Equine College courses.
“I started working as an apprentice for Michelle when I was 16 and she was kind and supportive from the beginning, ensuring that I was made to feel welcome and was given every opportunity to succeed. With Michelle’s help and training, which included both stable management lessons and riding lessons, I achieved both my level 2 and level 3 horse management qualifications. Michelle’s patient and supportive approach allowed me to thrive and progress, especially in my riding and I went from being a nervous rider to comfortably jumping 3ft for my qualification. In my time at White Horse Liveries, I not only progressed in my job but also grew into a more confident person and provided me with the skills and work ethic to be successful in whatever I do.”
