Seven candidates</div> <div> from across the UK took part in a Refresher Course and Exam for the</div> <div> Assistant and Ride Leader qualifications. Grainne Sugars, from Callaighstown</div> <div> in Ireland, flew in from examining BET candidates in Spain, to instruct the</div> <div> group for the three days prior to the exam. The course, which, whilst</div> <div> covering the whole syllabus, had an emphasis on client and horse care and</div> <div> thoroughly covered Health and Safety aspects, was highly praised by all</div> <div> candidates. John Patrick who, along with Wendy McCartney, had travelled</div> <div> from the Argyll Trail Centre in Scotland for the qualification commented</div> <div> that 'whilst tomorrow's exam is important, the course itself has taught</div> <div> me a great deal, and I am really looking forward to returning home and</div> <div> putting it all into practice'</div> <bR> <div> Burley-Villa's Centre Manager, Phil Cremer, was equally impressed with the</div> <div> candidates. ' They all came through the course marvellously, and developed a</div> <div> real team spirit. When it came to the exam, all seven were well in control</div> <div> of all the situations they were placed in, and with such an air of</div> <div> authority, I would have been happy to employ any single one of them'.</div> <bR> <div> BET examiners Francis Hay-Smith from Lakeland in Cumbria, and BHS Inspector</div> <div> Bob Weatherall had no hesitation in passing all seven, congratulating them</div> <div> on the confidence and competence they had shown.</div> <bR> <div> Ride Leader qualifications went to John and Wendy, along with Christine</div> <div> Thomas from Lancashire, Angela Heath from Devon, local rider Cathy McColl</div> <div> and Becky Peart from Burley Villa whilst Deborah Franklin took the Assistant</div> <div> Ride Leader Certificate back home with her to the USA.</div> <bR> <div> Burley-Villa plans another course in November and anyone wanting details of</div> <div> this or other BET exams or courses should contact Phil Cremer on</div> <div> 01425.610278 or Chris Doran at the BET office on 01926.707794.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A NAME="western_clinic"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Western Clinic</div> <bR> <div> Bob Mayhew at Burley-Villa</div> <bR> <div> Having been postponed several times, due to Foot and Mouth restrictions, the</div> <div> Bob Mayhew</div> <div> Western Clinic, originally scheduled for March, finally went ahead last</div> <div> Sunday, 15th August at the Burley Villa Western Riding Centre in the New</div> <div> Forest. Hailed as a great success by all who attended, the clinic,</div> <div> which was fully booked, saw riders working in groups of four for two, one</div> <div> hour sessions. Bob assessed each rider and, concentrating on individual</div> <div> strengths and weaknesses, soon had everyone enthralled as he put the riders</div> <div> and horses through their paces. There was a super atmosphere throughout</div> <div> the day, and, with Bobs expert tuition, many improvements were noted by</div> <div> spectators and riders alike. There was even a chance for a chat with Bob</div> <div> over a piping hot 'Beef Stew' lunch.</div> <bR> <div> One eager rider, Terry Cooper, who runs his Western Tack store at Burley</div> <div> Villa, thoroughly enjoyed the clinic . 'I love western riding and get</div> <div> involved as much as I can. I'd like to see more of Bob, it was great to see</div> <div> him helping the novices and beginners'. In fact Bob will be back for two</div> <div> more visits as part of Burley Villa's winter programme of Western Clinics,</div> <div> which commence in September and includes, amongst others, Susie Anderson</div> <div> and Judith Hubbard.
