Ann Pallas Bentley
Hi, my name is Ann, and just wanted to introduce myself and give insight into my background.
I have been involved with Horses all my life having learned to ride at the age of Seven, and going through the ranks of Gymkhanas, one day eventing, cross country, and running my own riding school into my mid teens, when my brother took up point to pointing and I became his groom. I still ride whenever I can. There is a unique bond that can only be experienced through the interaction with Horses and experiencing their different reactions, or to roam free with them in their enclosure, or out in the open field.
By joining the SCEAP team I can help others to enjoy the faith and devotion you can get with this interaction, that I have had the privilege of for many years, whilst also keeping visitors and the herd safe and secure.
I have ten years past experience working with children and young adults with additional needs, learning and behavioural differences.
I a;so have:
NVQ 4 in preparing to teach.
NVQ 2 in Custodial care.
YJB JASPS 1 and 2 in Juvenille Awareness Programme.
Hays Safeguarding and Child Protection Program.
