Jumping into the season with style

BGA partners Renwick & Sons, purveyors of the finest equine brushware, are thrilled to welcome International Showjumper Jessica Mendoza as their first Rider Ambassador.

Launched in the late autumn of 2017, the British designed & handcrafted grooming kits are already used by equestrians worldwide, both by horse owners and grooms but the importance of picking a British rider to represent their brand internationally was imperative as Richard Renwick, founder explains:

"As a heritage British brand, we very much want to support British talent. Jessica has represented Great Britain at the highest level and continues to fly the British flag on the international circuit from her base in Europe. As we are rapidly growing a strong global presence, we are excited to team up with Jessica to continue to build our brand awareness and support this rising star."

Jessica is equally thrilled saying:

" As a professional rider, I look for perfection both under saddle and across all my tack and equipment. The Renwick & Sons Grooming Kit is unlike any other grooming kit we’ve seen and I am thrilled to be associated with this fantastic brand.”

Last month, the Northumberland brand announced their partnership with the British Grooms Association, establishing further their commitment to the British equestrian industry.
