BGA Partner with Haygain

Professional membership body, the British Grooms Association (BGA) are delighted to announce their partnership with global horse health company, Haygain.

With both organisations sharing a strong ethos on promoting best practice and equine well-being, the fit between the BGA and Haygain is a natural one.

The announcement of the partnership has been welcomed by Edzo Wisman, CEO of Haygain who said, “Haygain is honoured to become a partner of the BGA. As a horse health company, we appreciate the countless hours grooms spend caring for their horses behind the scenes, their ability to catch health and performance issues in their earliest and most treatable stages, and their dedication to providing care that prevents problems whenever possible.

"Haygain fully supports the association’s important work of improving professional opportunities, providing career development tools and bringing grooms the recognition they so richly deserve."

“We are thrilled to welcome Haygain and look forward to being able to share their wealth of health care expertise with our members. We are passionate about best practice and look forward to working together.”

Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the BGA
