New BGA Ambassador Announced

19th June 2017
News Article Image

We are super delighted to announce that experienced hunting groom and BGA member, Laura White, has joined our prolific team of BGA Ambassadors.

Laura, who has been a groom for 18 years said, “When I was first approached about being a Hunt Groom Ambassador for the BGA I was slightly overwhelmed!”

The BGA Ambassadors are a hand-picked group of BGA members who share some of their amazing experiences, professional skills, knowledge and passion and want to re-invest in the industry they feel so passionately about.

“It is very easy to overlook hunting when put alongside other disciplines that are more widely and positively publicised due to unfortunate bad press hunting has received in recent years. After a very short period of time thinking I was then excited, proud and fired up at the thought of becoming an ambassador and being a voice for all hunt yards big and small and the dedicated people who work in them. I am looking forward to getting my teeth into the role” added Laura.

Please join us in welcoming Laura to the BGA and as the groom to many stunning grey horses we are really looking forward to her turn out tips!
