Nominations have opened for the Haddon Training British Grooms Awards.

Taking place at the British Breeders Awards Dinner, the British Grooms Awards celebrates the hard work, commitment and achievements of grooms across the equestrian industry including competition yards, riding schools, welfare centres, trekking centres and studs.

At the highest level, British grooms played an important role at the FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon as well as on the Pony, Children, Junior and Young Rider teams at the European Championships.

Haddon Training work with over 800 U.K wide employers and support 100’s of young people and adults to launch a successful career within the Equine industry, develop high quality skills and achieve nationally recognised qualifications.

Chris Hewlett, Managing Director of Haddon Training said, “Whilst the continuing media coverage is excellent in raising awareness of the valuable role grooms do play, particularly at elite level, I hope by sponsoring the British Grooms Awards it demonstrates the importance that is placed on all grooms who are the backbone of the equine industry and who very rarely get identified and recognised for all their hard work.”

The winning recipients in the five categories of the Haddon Training British Grooms Awards will be presented with their awards at the annual British Breeders Awards Dinner in London on Saturday 12^th January 2019.

Amy Boynton, a senior groom at the World Horse Welfare Glenda Spooner Farm Rescueand Rooming Centre and the winning recipient of the Haddon Training British Grooms Award in 2018 said, “To win the British Grooms Award really meant a lot to me, as I was really shocked I that I had been nominated for such a prestigious award.
