It has been an exceptional first year for the BGA; over 700 grooms have joined, we have produced five British Grooms Magazines, launched the much commended Equine Skills CV scheme and provided direct support to many grooms and employers.

None of this could have been at all possible without the support from all of our loyal sponsors - we can't thank them enough for all their backing.

The BGA will continue to grow and develop in its next 12 months and we look forward to continuing to raising the profile and recognition for all grooms.
