Riding
Instructor (B.H.S.A.I.)
Sarah
trained during 1997 at Wellington Riding near Reading as a working
pupil to gain her BHSPI (British Horse Society Preminary Instructor).
She was then offered a permanent position as an Instructor and Deputy
head of school yard.
During
the next 8 months she worked towards and completed the number of required
hours teaching to gain her full BHSAI (Assistant Instructor), as well
as her NVQ level 3 in Horse Care & Managment including Riding
as a specialist unit. Her time there was invaluable, not only giving
her a wide variety of teaching experience, but also in building her
confidence immensely.

teach a lesson of her own.

she runs both her own Ju Jitsu and Judo club, has taught at many local
martial arts seminars and had several requests to give private tuition.
