The International Grooms Association (IGA) are proud to announce a collaboration with the FEI European Championships for Jumping Milan 2023 as one of the IGA’s official Show Supporters.
In meetings with the Organising Committee and the IGA, there have been extensive discussions to ensure the best provision possible for the grooms who will head to Milan in September.
“The FEI Jumping Europeans are one of the flagship FEI events of the year, and a fantastic opportunity to showcase some of the best ways shows can prioritise grooms and give them a great working experience.
The Italian Federation, FISE, are steadfast supporters of the grooms, and we are looking forward to seeing the OCs plans put into place.”
Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the IGA
There will be an IGA representative onsite during the show, and the OC are working with the IGA to ensure that grooms have everything they need including a designated point of contact who will be able to answer any queries the grooms might have.
Sara Riffeser Monti, Show Director said: “The importance of the grooms is one of the main aspects on which the OC is focusing the overall organization of the event, with the aim to meet their needs and to make the Championship as enjoyable as possible for them.
Little steps that make the difference, such as welcome activities at the stables with gadgets, and a reserved buvette with coffee and water free of charge, the flexibility of the Food & Beverage service, dedicated accommodation at the venue, dedicated prize giving ceremonies, etc. are the basis in order to deliver the best experience possible of the Championship.
Moreover, a great celebration of the grooms is provided by communication through media and social networks with a result in higher visibility and awareness in both equestrian people and the general public.”.
The FEI European Championships for Jumping 2023 will take place 29 August-3 September 2023 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.
