Apprentice achieves highest grade at EPA
Huge congratulations to level 3 senior equine groom apprentice, Jess Mayoh, who recently passed her senior apprenticeship with a distinction.

Jess has completed her equine qualification at Hughes Dressage, home of international dressage riders Rebecca Hughes and Gareth Hughes, in Warwickshire. With the support of Rebecca, Gareth and her equine Trainer Coach Jess McGowan she achieved the highest grade at EPA (End Point Assessment).

Jess says, “I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship at Hughes Dressage over the past 18 months! I’ve been lucky to have been offered so many opportunities which include grooming at international and high profile shows, as well as being part of a fantastic team. I’m very grateful to Jess, my Trainer Coach, and the whole team at Hughes Dressage, who have been a huge part of my apprenticeship journey!”
