News Article Image

The BGA is delighted to welcome amazing International equine photographer and media agency Events Through A Lens on board as BGA supporters.

Events Through A Lens cover every major international equestrian show in Europe and are no strangers to working with the amazing teams behind the riders and capturing the grooms in the moment.

Nick Rosendale, Director at Events Through A Lens Said, “We are so pleased to be working with the BGA. Photographing the special relationship between groom, rider and horse has always been a passion of mine. Equestrian sport is very much a team sport and I hope that my images along with the hard work of the BGA will create great awareness of the hard work grooms play within the equine world.”


Chief Executive of the BGA, Lucy Katan said, “It is fantastic that Event Through A Lens have chosen to support us. Their photos are fantastic and beautifully display the unique bond between the groom, horse and rider. We feel very fortunate to be working with Nick and his passionate team.”
