Each month we present the rider who has made the most progress during that month with our Greenacres Rider of The Month Trophy. Our winner keeps the trophy for one month and is also rewarded with a private riding lesson, value of £20, on the horse of their choice

January 2011

Our very first Rider of the month for 2011 is Stephanie Blakely - pictured here with Bandit.

Stephanie has only recently started riding at greenacres but has improved so much during this short time. Her favourite horses to ride are bandit and tyson who she is just beginning to ride off of lead rein. We hope to see stephanie progress even more throughout the year and we hope that she will always enjoy horseriding.

February 2011

Rider of the month for February is young Jennifer Lockhart. Jennifer is now riding off lead rein and is making great progress on her own. She is pictured here with Rosie who is one of her favourite ponies. She also loves to ride King. Keep up the good work Jennifer!

March 2011

Shelby Young is our well deserved rider of the month for March! Shelby has been riding Roo (pictured here) for the past few weeks now in her saturday lesson and her riding and confidence has improved so much in this time. Together, they manage to complete the tasks given to them throughout the lesson, which makes Susie (the instructor) very happy! Well done Shelby!!!

April 2011

Ellie Primrose wins the trophy for this month. She has been riding mostly on Pickles but mow progressing onto bigger ponies like Bandit pictured here. Ellie is making excellent progress with her cantering and jumping. Keep up the good work Ellie!

May 2011

Amy Russell is pictured here on Jojo. Amy has lessons on a Sunday morning with Judith. These lessons incorporate Parelli and considering JoJo is still young they are both doing incredibly well. They are hoping to continue making progress over the summer. Well done Amy!

June 2011

Abbey pictured here with good old King, is our rider of the month for June. Recently Abbey has begun cantering in her saturday lesson and is doing incredibly well with her riding as a whole. Abbey usually rides Pickles but on this day we caught her on King who is equally as good! She has also been on our new forest pony Amber who she found to be a challenge but one that is most definitely welcomed!! Well done Abbey!!!

July 2011

12 year old Lucy Murdoch pictured here with her pony Amber gallops away with the Greenacres Rider of the Month Trophy for August! Lucy is lucky enough to have her own pony which she brings to Greenacres each summer to have fun with. Lucy has been riding daily over the holidays and her riding has come on leaps and bounds. So a huge well done to Lucy - and keep up the good work!
