Work experience wanted …

My name is Richard Lockert and I have recently applied (and been unconditionally accepted) for a Farriery College course in Hereford to start in September of this year (2012). I am very excited to start this course as it will lead me into a career that suits the country lifestyle that I am used to and work that is always sort after, where a Good Farrier is very much appreciated by their customers
I am looking for any work experience that will help me gain a good knowledge and understanding of working with and around horses before my course starts. I am looking for work in local stables that will allow me to work around the horses, cleaning, feeding and taking to and from the paddocks. I am also looking for an Approved Training Farrier (ATF) happy to offer some work experience that will help me see first-hand what is involved with farriery on a day to day basis and possibly offer an Apprenticeship place for 2013 when the course finishes.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you
Please email me at richardlockert@hotmail.co.uk or phone 01490 450306
