New Year Honours for BHS President
| New Year Honours for BHS President The President of The British Horse Society, Desi Dillingham, has been appointed MBE for voluntary service to equestrianism in the New Year Honours list. Commenting on her appointment, BHS Chairman Patrick Print FBHS said: "Desi, who became our President in 2007, is widely recognised as a great ambassador, not just for the Society but for horses and those who ride and drive them. In this instance, the over-used word "passionate" is entirely appropriate in describing her desire to get more people, young and old, into the saddle. And in her commitment to equine welfare she is second to none." |  The President of The British Horse Society, Desi Dillingham |
Mr Print also welcomed the honours awarded to other equestrians. "We were delighted that equestrianism has been so well represented in the New Year Honours, with Paralympic triple gold medalist Lee Pearson's appointment as a CBE and Anne Dunham, Sophie Christiansen, Ruth Skinner, Susan Tron and Deborah Anne Hall all appointed MBE. They are all, in their own way, exemplars of excellence within the equestrian community."
