The British Grooms Association has been invited to join the Scottish Equestrian Association (SEA) as an Associate Member.

Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the BGA, said “I am delighted that we have been welcomed to join SEA as this is an indication that the BGA has already gained the vital recognition from the equestrian industry. This will provide Scottish grooms with a much needed ‘voice’ and I look forward to working closely with our Scottish members and SEA.”

Muriel Colquhoun, Hon Chief Executive of SEA, says: “The professional groom is, next to the rider, the most important person on the medal-winning team. Recognition and understanding of this valued member of the workforce in the professional equine yard is vital to the welfare and wellbeing of the horse in all its varying environments. SEA fully supports the BGA and wishes it well for the future.”
