BHS recognises ‘unsung heroes’
Monday 24 November 2008
The British Horse Society showed its appreciation to the individuals and organisations who have supported the leading equestrian charity’s work - at an awards ceremony in London on Thursday 20th November.
The BHS presented 23 awards to individuals or organisations who have made an outstanding contribution to the BHS's work, at the event at Saddlers' Hall in the City of London.
The prestigious awards – presented by the Society’s President Desi Dillingham - highlighted the amazing work that goes on behind the scenes on behalf of Britain's horses and riders.
Patrick Print, Chairman and a Fellow of The British Horse Society, said: “These award winners are the unsung heroes of equestrianism – people who quietly and ceaselessly graft away for the good of all riders and drivers. Their achievements are immense and we thank them for all they have done."
