Extended deadline for top grooms

Entrants for the Horse & Hound “Groom of the Year” competition, in association with National Association of Grooms and Students (NAGS), have until 5 December to get their entries in for a chance to win the fantastic holiday prize, worth £4,500, generously donated by Grange Hotels.

The winning groom and their guest can look forward to spending one night in the five-star Grange City Hotel, opposite Tower Bridge in London, before being flown business class to Venice to spend five nights at the luxurious four-star Starhotel Splendid Suisse hotel. On returning to the UK, the winner and guest will enjoy another night at the Grange City Hotel, London.

The competition is open to all grooms, whether from a local riding school or top competition yard. Applicants can nominate themselves or be nominated by their employer or fellow professional. A brief self-written CV of the nominee’s grooming career must support all applications.

Entries can be sent in on the application form in the 6 November issue of Horse & Hound, or click here for a downloadable entry form which can be printed out, completed and sent in.
