In mid July, Minette  travelled to Acrecliffe in West Yorkshire to take the Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) Advanced Teaching Diploma, their highest exam grade and the most wide-reaching of all the ABRS qualifications.

She was successful in attaining this Diploma and was described in the ABRS September Newsletter as, “an outstanding candidate and an asset to the industry.”  Minette formally received her award at the ABRS’s annual conference, where a special presentation was made.
