Equestrian Gamesmakers Honoured at AHT Awards

Sarah Phillips, Senior Executive of British Riding Clubs, was presented with the South Essex Insurance Brokers Voluntary Service Award on behalf of all Olympic Gamesmakers at the Animal Health Trust Equestrian Awards, held at The Lancaster London Hotel on 1 November.

The award was made to honour all the Olympic Gamesmakers who dedicated their free time to making the Olympic and Paralympic games such a successful and inspiring event. Sarah said: “It was a huge honour to be

able to accept the award on behalf of the equestrian Gamesmakers who were involved at London 2012. We all know how much volunteers put into our sport and it is wonderful that the commitment of these people has been recognised in such a way”.

British Riding Clubs also saw one of their longstanding volunteers, Rosemary Batten, honoured as an Olympic Gamesmaker. Rosemary said: “This was such a brilliant evening and I felt honoured to be invited to ra fast the dinner and

awards evening. The icing on the cake was to be invited on to the stage along with Sarah and the others to receive the award. To be honoured alongside our gold medallists from the 2012 Olympics was reward in itself.”

Equestrian Social Media Awards

Nominations are now open for the 2012 Equestrian Social Media Awards and we’re delighted that BRC is eligible for four categories:

Best YouTube Channel
Best Use of Facebook
Best Use of Social Media by a Publication
Best Use of Social Media by an Event or Competition

In addition to this, our new BHS mascot Patrick the Pony can be nominated for the new category of Best Talking Horse!

To make it into the ten

finalists, we need as many nominations as possible for each category and nominations can be made here equestriansocialmediaawards.com/nominations

So if you could spare just a couple of minutes to nominate us, we would be extremely grateful! And please do pass this on to the

Clubs and members in your Area! Fingers crossed BRC make the finals!!

Lizzie Murray Clinic

**UPDATE**

Due to the huge amount of riders applying for this it is very likely that we are going to have to limit the number of

riders from each RC. The maximum we will be able to take from each club is 3 riders and we are sorry that there are going to be some disappointed riders. However, as

you can appreciate this is the fairest way to make sure all clubs in the area have access to great training. The ballot will be done fairly with 3 names being pulled out of a hat. If after the ballot we have spaces left then we will pull them from the hat. Please note the closing date for applications is 25th January, and no late applications will be accepted. Only correctly completed applications forms, with membership numbers and cheques for the right amount will be entered into the ballot.

Area 12 are delighted to be hosting a clinic with Lizzie Murray at Stretcholt on 2nd February 2013.
