Working on agricultural and equine texts is a fascinating job. However, it also requires a specific expertise. To accomplish texts that are understood by those in the equestrian and agricultural sector, you need to be an expert on the subject as well as on translating. In the course of my professional life I have combined these two aspects, in both theory and practice.
