The BGA is pleased to announce a new working partnership with the Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS).

“It is important that employers understand their responsibilities when employing staff. The ABRS have over 300 members, the majority who are employers and so this working partnership is great news.  We hope all ABRS members purchase access to the Employers Zone; for just £29.50 they can ensure that they are protecting their business and employing within the law,” explained BGA Executive Director, Lucy Katan.

The BGA is delighted to welcome Medi-K Training to its prestigious group of sponsors.
