Results of the 2001 Scholarship awards.

In 2000, Scholarship winners were lain Hood and Kirsty Litchfield who have both opted to take up their prize of a week's tuition at Jane MacInnes' yard at Home Farm near Aberdeen. In addition, Voice Products awarded another scholarship to 17 year old Fiona Paxton, as the most successful candidate not from a professional driving yard. At the request of Voice Products this third category is now set to be an annual feature of the scholarship.

The scholarship presentation took place at the Horse of the Year Show. To cheers from the audience, the three winners were brought into the arena by June Hommers and her prize winning Welsh Section A ponies Penhasset Starturn & Brilliant Posh Paws, driven to a 1901 Malvern Dog Cart. There they received their awards from Simon Baker, Chairman of Voice Products Group plc.

All young carriage drivers of whatever standard are eligible for the scholarship, and those interested in applying should complete the form provided in the May BDS Newsletter.
