Haddon Training British Groom Awards

With 2016 being a fabulous years for recognition of grooms in general, this years’ nominees for each category were of an exceptionally high standard. 

This annual event sees a real recognition for the dedication and hard work of the grooms of Great Britain. Sponsored by Haddon Training, there is always a high standard of nominations. 

At the British Breeders Awards Dinner, Chris Hewlett, Managing Director of Haddon Training presented the winning candidates with their awards, commenting, “The standard of nominations received in the four categories was extremely high and along with my co-judges, Jane Holderness-Roddam and Jenny Ellis we deliberated for a number of hours of who should be the worthy winners and feel that they have all made an outstanding contribution in their careers or at the start of their career in the equestrian industry”.

Liz Daniels caught up with the winners to find out more about these super grooms.
