Horsescotland Awards 2015 - Anne Logan wins Volunteer of the year!!

Thursday 05 March 2015

The horsescotland Annual Awards recognise and reward the contribution of Scotland’s equestrian coaches, volunteers, performers, clubs, equine breeders and equestrian business community.

Nominations were received from our Member Bodies, and after much deliberation, our Board scored the nominees against the criteria to decide the winners. This led to very close competition as all nominees were fantastic.

The hugely deserving award winners were announced at the sparkling ceremony held at the Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort, Cumbernauld on Friday 27 February:

• Volunteer of the Year: Anne Logan
• Coach of the Year: Amanda Saville
• Performer of the Year: Wills Oakden
• Equine Breeder of the Year: MFS Studfarm
• Equestrian Business of the Year: Tannoch Stables
• Club of the Year: Sports Driving Unlimited

There was a final special award presented to Jane Cepok for her huge contribution to all disciplines of equestrianism. She was nominated separately by BHS Scotland and Pony Club for all the hard work she puts into both her work and voluntary roles. Jane is a hugely deserving recipient of the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award.

Ronnie Young MBE, Chair of horsescotland, summarised the awards ceremony when saying:

“The horsescotland awards 2015 were a fantastic opportunity for the equestrian community to come together and celebrate Scotland’s substantial equestrian success over the last 12 months. I would like to thank everyone who came along and made it a real night to remember and offer my sincere thanks to our sponsors Wades Print and our principal partner sportscotland – the national agency for sport, as well as the new EQY Magazine for providing a photographer.

horsescotland will continue to drive forward a number of exciting programmes and initiatives in the year ahead and will work closely with its member bodies and key stakeholders to put in place a world-class system for Scottish equestrianism that ensures the welfare of the horse.”

Billy Bell, Chief Operating Officer of horsescotland, added:

“Much of the success of our riders, drivers and vaulters is down to the quality of the coaches and the commitment of the thousands of volunteers whose efforts are invaluable. The horsescotland awards create the perfect stage to recognise and reward the contribution of Scotland’s equestrian coaches, volunteers, performers, clubs, equine breeders and equestrian business community.”

We are all now looking forward to another successful year for the entire equestrian community and in particular the FEI European Eventing Championships that are taking place at Blair Castle, 10-13 September.
