This is our message of thanks to all our customers for the support and enthusiasm we have received this year. So grab a cuppa in your fave G&G mug and discover some of this year's highlights as well as a first insight into what's coming your way in 2025.
Cheers to 2024
Expanding our Team
For the first time, G&G expanded its hardworking family team in 2024. We welcomed two new employees, Sophie and Olivia, whose input has helped Becs bring to life a number goals for G&G.
Getting Out and About
Meeting people who share our passion for our products whilst out and about at appearances is a treasured experience for the G&G team. Being back exhibiting at Badminton Horse Trials, we loved catching up with some regular faces as well as welcoming new customers to our stand with some of our favourite G&G goodies on offer.
We were thrilled to have G&G represented by some of our G&G Champions & Friends during the event. Chloe Marsh aboard Marley successfully completed the Badminton Grassroots Championships in style sporting our Kerrits Showjacket and Sixteen Cyprus dressage pad.
Another G&G highlight of the week came with seeing Harry Meade's horses beautifully turned out for the trot-up in our signature G&G x Sixteen Cyprus Waffle Coolers.

Launching our New Website.
Having had our old website for almost 7 years since G&G first launched, a major project for 2024 was to revamp the G&G website. We worked with a wonderful web developer to create a new online space for G&G with fresh new imagery that pays homage to our roots.
We are delighted to be able to bring you exciting new features on our online store, such as our innovative Build Your Own Bridle feature, allowing you to customise the design and build of a G&G bridle to suit your horse's specific needs. Our new website also offers a brand new community space, the G&G Grandstand, where we hope to showcase the very best of Glaze & Gordon. Through the Grandstand, you can get to know more about Glaze & Gordon by discovering our story, meeting the G&G Champions & Friends and hearing from our founder, Becs Glaze, about her brand vision.
Expanding the G&G Clothing Collection
This year saw our best-selling collection of G&G country and equestrian wear grow with exciting new products. We released our Traditional Training Breeches in a fresh new Sage Green colour way, and received a fabulous response to the Marchmont Fleece Gilet, a new and improved fleece gilet that will provide you with year-round comfort and style.
Collaborative Efforts to Bring you the Best
We collaborated with Sporting Hares to further develop their iconic Beaufort Blazer in a bespoke design exclusive to Glaze & Gordon. If you’re searching for 2025 season's trot-up outfit, hoping to be the best dressed attendee at your next country outing, or simply want something fresh and fabulous for a Sunday pub lunch, the Sporting Hares x G&G Fox Blazer is our recommendation to you.
This year, we were also delighted to collaborate with accomplished horsewoman, author and adventurer, Alexandra Tolstoy, to create a unique collection of riding wear blending classic traditional designs with everyday practicality.
With cotton fabrics specially selected by Alexandra for their lightweight, breathable qualities, and for its softness against the skin, we believe the G&G x AT collection represents the very best in style, quality and innovation that Glaze & Gordon is known for.
G&G Champions & Friends.
Our brand new dedicated online space allows us to showcase the profiles of the G&G Champions and Friends, sharing with you more about their lives in various country and equestrian fields.
In 2024, we welcomed some new and well-known faces to the group with Marina Fogle, Nicole Brown, Douglas Crawford and Francesca Cumani representing a range of country and equestrian sectors.
Introducing new G&G Champions and Friends is always a special moment for the G&G Team. Many of our G&G Champions & Friends have started out as visitors to one of our exhibitor stands, or online customers searching for a product to meet a particular need. For us, these brand friendships represent the success of the G&G collection and its growing reputation for unique items that really work.
Supporting Charities Close to our Hearts
Our charity work continued this year with sales of our 2025 annual calendars and donations of profits from some of our goodies to organisations close to our heart, including the Atlantic Salmon Trust, Hunt Servants Benefit Society, Greatwood Charity for former Racehorses and the Game Keepers Welfare Trust.
A Warm Welcome to 2025
Exciting things lie ahead for G&G in 2025.
With new products set to be introduced to the G&G clothing line, including the first pieces in our signature Tweed Range, we hope to see demand for our signature collection continue to build.
We are excited to collaborate with existing as well as new collaboration partners to bring you bespoke items of superior quality, exclusive to G&G, and we we will continue to welcome remarkable brands with unique products to our brand catalogue.
In 2025, we are focused on expanding our US customer base. With plans to open a US fulfilment centre and introduce a dedicated US website, we hope to make shopping the G&G collection a more streamlined and enjoyable experience for customers across the pond.
This year, we having exciting plans to develop our relationships with the G&G Champions & Friends. We look forward to getting to know more about them, hearing their stories and sharing in their adventures through the G&G Grandstand. Be sure to get the latest news and updates on our G&G icons by signing up to our newsletter.
