There is a fantastic opportunity for young people passionate about coaching as the BHS launches its quest to find this year’s Young Instructor of the Year. The competition has been developed by the BHS 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 30 years of age or under on January 1, 2008, who holds a minimum of the BHS preliminary teaching test and is actively involved in the equine industry. Last year’s title went to 24-year-old Tom Searle. Tom runs a small, private yard and is a freelance instructor and eventer.

The competition is split into ten regional qualifiers. During each qualifier, selected applicants are able to question, discuss and debate coaching and teaching skills with a Fellow of the BHS. All qualifiers still have limited places available. For details, contact Alison Skyers, Senior Executive Training, BHS, on 01926 707820 or a.skyers@bhs.org.uk
