BGA welcomes new sponsor

The BGA is delighted to team up with Eqclusive, a company dedicated to providing innovative and elite products to help keep your horse looking their best.

The Eqclusive brush packs were designed by Marta Kotonska whose love of horse care, and the knowledge she gained from being a top groom for a number of years have been the driving forces for creating the brushes.

In addition to the brush packs designed for the individual colour of horse’s coat, Eqclusive are also the proud manufactures of BGA Ambassador, Alan Davies’ Grooming Pack, as used on Valegero, Nip Tuck and their stable mates.
Marta, creator of Eqclusive grooming packs, said "Eqclusive is absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to sponsor the British Grooms Association. As an ex professional groom myself I'm keen to support grooms visibility.

Grooming and care of each individual horse is the most important part of every horse lives, which is why Eqclusive invented specific packs of brushes. We are also proud to have our Alan Davies range, as well as many more products that help every day grooming."

Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the BGA said, “We are delighted to welcome Eqclusive to the BGA and are excited to work with Marta, an ex groom, who really understands what our members need and like.”

We are delighted that Eqclusive are offering BGA members a 10% discount on all products. Log in to the members area to get your code.
