We are so proud to announce that our wonderful Yard Manager, Jen Hesketh has won The Association of British Riding Schools Instructor of the Year Award.

The Golden Spur was first awarded in 2004 and is a golden opportunity for ABRS proprietors to nominate an instructor who works in their yard. The winning instructor has to demonstrate the ideal combination of enthusiasm, quality teaching and sound business sense as well being aware of the necessary issues of health and safety, child protection and have the ability to assess risk.

Jen was one of five finalists selected to go for judging at Witham Villa Riding Centre in Leicestershire.  She had to teach a lesson and then be interviewed by a panel of judges.

The ABRS wrote about Jen  “during the day you inspired the panel with your professionalism, enthusiasm and commercial awareness”.
