Baileys and BGA / EEA Team Up

Baileys Horse Feeds are to become feed partners to the British Grooms Association (BGA) and the Equestrian Employers Association (EEA) in a new three-year deal.

In this exciting new partnership there are plans to develop an e-learning module on feed management and equine nutrition, which members can complete online. The BGA / EEA pride themselves with working closely with companies who share their ethos of support and education for those in the industry, a passion which Baileys share.

“Our team spend a lot of time on a large variety of yards working closely with riders, trainers, grooms and owners. At Baileys we enjoy developing individually tailored feed plans for the horses to help them feel and perform at their best,” explains Marketing Manager, Jane Buchan. “We’re also keen to promote membership of the two associations, which provide some invaluable advice and support to the workforce within the industry.”

BGA Executive Director Lucy Katan says, “We are delighted to welcome Baileys to the BGA and EEA and are excited for the future of this new partnership. With a shared passion for education and a new e-learning course planned, we look forward to working with the Baileys team to focus on developing what we can offer our members in terms of nutritional education and learning.”
