Here is a photo of one of the digital photos that would come up when a horse and rider came into the ring in the team jumping final at the FEI World Championships Herning 2022. What do I love about the photo? The Groom! This is the first time I have seen the grooms given an introduction as important members of the team. They know the horse so well and would be instrumental in keeping the horse in good health and also calm in the intense atmosphere of a huge championship like this one

It is a team effort!
Nice to learn about the grooms and good idea to honor them
I agree!
Nice to get the young folks involved…and recognized.
About time too. Grooms have traditionally been overlooked so this recognition is overdue and certainly welcome.
That’s so cool! They’re like the under-sung heroes of the equestrian world. I kinda wish that they would be allowed to walk with the racehorses to the starting gate during our horse-races (some of those horses get so freaked out until their groom comes along.)
