ELOISE STANFORD MEISL


My name is Eloise Stanford Meisl and I am a 17-year-old student from the UK. After final exams in June, I’ll be playing the UK polocrosse season and earning money for a Gap Year before moving forward with a university degree in Equine Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation in September 2021. I’m really keen to travel to Australia in September 2020 for a minimum of 6 months for the opportunity to play a polocrosse season in Western Australia, South Australia or Victoria. I have been riding for 10 years, playing polocrosse for 5 years (graded a UK 7) and have lots of experience of working with both horses and people of all ages, including children with special needs. I work hard, enjoy being part of a team and would be happy to au pair, look after and exercise horses and generally muck in. If you think you may have anything suitable, please contact me at eloisesm@hotmail.co.uk or on Facebook Eloise Stanford Meisl

For further information, please contact either Eloise or Izzy Baker Cresswell through Facebook Messenger
