Students grow in confidence
at Erme Valley

Two students, Shikira Knight in Year 11 and
Brooke Miller in Year 10, have both passed their
Horse Riding and Horse Management Tests. Shikira
passed Level 2 and Brooke passed Level 1. Both girls
have been attending the Erme Valley Riding School,
caring for the horses and learning to ride. They
have shown great enthusiasm and confidence
around the horses and played an important part in
the running of the yard, such as stable
management, grooming and working as a team.
“I was really proud of both girls who grew in
confidence and became more independent each
week, a massive well done to both girls,” said
Mrs Lomas.
