Young Scottish instructor scoops The British Horse Society
award
YOUNG instructor Hilary Anderson of Cromarty in Rosshire
has won the prestigious Anne Balfour-Kinnear Training Legacy
for 2004.
Hilary, who has helped her mother develop a riding centre,
is to receive her prize at a teaching techniques day to be
held at Faraway, Aberdeenshire, in early April. She plans
to use the bursary to further her training.
Sandra Morrison, Chairman of the BHS Scotland training committee,
said: "Hilary's enthusiasm and dedication for teaching
the young came across loud and clear at the interview, and
the selection panel felt she was the right candidate for the
2004 award. We are delighted to have a recipient of this award
in the north of Scotland."
Hilary worked with her mother to build up a riding centre,
located in the Black Isle, Ross-shire and Cromartyshire, from
a small trekking centre to a Pony Club centre which will shortly
be put forward for BHS riding school approval. She has her
Preliminary Teaching Test (PTT), and is in the process of
becoming a BHS-registered instructor.
The Anne Balfour-Kinnear training Award is presented annually
by The British Horse Society Scotland to a Scottish young
instructor who shows dedication to teaching riding, gaining
qualifications and encouraging others in the industry.
Nominations are now open for the 2005 Anne Balfour-Kinnear
Legacy. Candidates need to be resident in Scotland, aged between
18 and 23, and committed to equestrian training, furthering
their own qualifications, and being an inspiration to others.
Application forms are available from BHS Scotland, Woodburn,
Crieff, Perthshire PH7 3RG or can be downloaded at bhsscotland.org.uk
