Shropshire Adventures Academy Celebrates National Award Success

We are incredibly proud to announce that one of our students, Lee Harries, has been awarded the prestigious Pamela Almond – Changing Lives Through Horses Award at the British Horse Society Annual Awards.

This achievement is made even more special as it marks the second consecutive year that a Shropshire Adventures Academy student has received this national recognition, highlighting the life-changing impact of the work taking place at our Academy.

Lee joined Shropshire Adventures Academy over a year ago after spending time out of education. Since then, he has shown outstanding determination, resilience and commitment, setting himself goals, embracing new opportunities and becoming a valued member of our team.

Watching Lee's journey has been truly inspiring. Through hard work, self-belief and a positive attitude, he has developed the confidence and skills to create his own path forward. His enthusiasm, humour and willingness to get involved in everything have made a lasting impression on everyone around him.

We were delighted to see Lee recognised on a national stage alongside members of our team at the British Horse Society Annual Awards. The award is a testament to everything he has achieved and the bright future ahead of him.

Congratulations, Lee. We couldn't be prouder of you and all that you have accomplished. Your Shropshire Adventures Academy family is cheering you on every step of the way.
