Just two weeks ago, EMA held its first masterclass in the United States at the expanding World Equestrian Center with Carl Hester.This event marked the first endeavour by the agency in the US, since it opened their US office there in June. Plans to continue to expand its events division internationally are in the works for 2023. In 2022, the company consulted and collaborated with key events in 2022, including CHIO Aachen. 

EMA has been the strategic management team behind some of the most upcoming and well- known riders in the sport for approaching ten years, notably Charlotte Dujardin who has been with the company exclusively since 2012.

They have recently added a new agent to their team, Kyle Holden, with plans to expand the roster further in 2023 They are encouraging any professional rider who has thought of representation and building their commercial careers to approach the company if they wish to learn more about what they offer.

The EMA Academy is for all riders of any level; an educational, online hub where members can learn about what it takes to gain commercial success. The platform is innovative and will form a key part with the EMA Group.

We are so proud to have this venture as part of the EMA Group and look forward to all that comes next for this new community – states EMA Founder, Abby Newell
