The search begins for The British Horse Society Young Instructor of the Year 2008
There is a fantastic opportunity available to young people passionate about coaching as the BHS launches its quest to find this year's Young Instructor of the Year.
This competition has been developed by The British Horse Society to offer aspiring young instructors and coaches an opportunity to display and develop their coaching skills as well as to continue with their own professional development.
The competition is open to anyone who is 30 years of age or under on 1 January 2008, who holds a minimum of the BHS Preliminary Teaching Test and is actively involved in the equine industry.
BHS Director of Standards, Margaret Linington-Payne says: "This competition is ideal for young coaches and instructors who wish to highlight and improve their existing coaching work within the equine industry".
Last year's title went to 24-year-old Tom Searle BHSII from Gloucestershire. Tom, who runs a small private yard and is a freelance instructor and eventer, found the competition extremely worthwhile.
He says: "I think the BHS Young Instructor of the Year competition gives much needed direction to people like myself and I am delighted to have won it. It was only right at the end when things had gone well and I had enjoyed the day, that I allowed myself to hope I could win."
The competition is split into ten regional qualifiers across the country. Each qualifier is used as a training day for selected applicants and allows them the opportunity to question, discuss and debate coaching and teaching skills with a Fellow of the BHS.
Mary-Ann Casey won last year's Ireland qualifier. She says: "I loved the qualifier, it was absolutely fantastic. I found it so interesting and it was great to meet other people involved in the industry"
The qualifier for the West Midlands will be held on Wednesday 25 June 2008 at Ingestre Stables, Staffordshire. The West Midlands will be awarding a £250 bursary for the winner of this qualifier (West Midlands based). All qualifiers still have limited places available. If you are interested please contact the Training Department for further details and an application pack - 01926 707820.

Error on Voting Paper for Election to Trustees
"There is an error on the Voting Paper included within the Annual Report and Accounts, which accompanied the latest edition of British Horse. In it our Regional Safety Officer in the North, David Roy KERRY, is shown as David Roy KELLY. Whereas I am sure all David's friends and contacts within the BHS would spot the error from the very first sentence of the accompanying biographical note, I would be grateful if you would bring this error to the attention of members with whom you come into contact."
