Britain’ top BHS TREC riders recognised
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
The achievements of some of Britain’s top BHS TREC riders were celebrated at The SEIB BHS TREC Annual Awards, held at The Woodside Conference Centre, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
The ceremony recognised all riders that have competed in the BHS TREC League throughout 2009. Prizes were presented to the top finishers in each of the league divisions – Novice Individual, Novice Pairs, Open Individual and Open Pairs.
The SEIB Novice Individual title was won by Jane Chivers with 59 points. In the Novice Pairs league there were joint winners – Rachael Wilmot and Jan Oldham, and Di Skippon and Ali Large. The Open Pairs title was taken by husband and wife combination Dave and Sheila Rogerson.
Open Individual title winner was Current GB TREC Champion, Anna Weston who was awarded a bespoke Endurance Combination bridle, donated by the Worshipful Company of Saddlers.
Past Master David Snowden of the Worshipful Company of Saddlers presented the prizes, which included a Horseware Ireland Corrib Jacket donated from their Autumn/Winter range for the winners, and rosettes to tenth.
There were also several special awards presented on the night including the J.F Brammer “Unsung Hero’s Award”, donated by the Brammer family in memory of John Fredrick Brammer. This award is presented in recognition of the unsung heroes and volunteers who help out at events all over the country and this year’s recipients were Vanessa Warren and Richard Curtis, for their hard work both home and abroad.
The BHS also recognised sportsmanlike behaviour for the first time at this year’s awards. The first BHS Sportsmanship award went to Julian Brown for his assistance in helping riders at the BHS TREC Championship of Great Britain negotiate the soft ground, despite the fact that he incurred penalties for doing so.
