Whether you are a competitive rider, horse enthusiast or simply want to enjoy an exciting day out, Horse of the Year Show has something to offer every member of the family. Spread across five days, Horse of the Year Show is the ultimate celebration of the horse, with food and fine dining, a shopping paradise, and breath-taking displays as well as the exhilarating Naylors Pony Club Mounted Games.
The HOYS retail village is open each day throughout the week, where you’ll find all your equestrian essentials as well as an amazing selection of treats and gifts.
The fan favourites Mountain and Moorland classes run from Wednesday through to Friday. National Showjumping championships run throughout the week with the Redpost Equestrian Senior Foxhunter Champion finishing off the Thursday in style. Thursday evening is also the stage for the Bret Wilson Dressage Future Elite Championship, with 8 of the country’s highly anticipated young horses performing an Intermediate I Freestyle test. The prestigious Price Family Supreme In-Hand Championship is a popular showcase on Friday. Friday also sees the start of the International Showjumping classes which are always firm favourites with the crowd.
The Saturday evening performance is always an exhilarating watch with the final instalment of the Osborne Refrigerators Scurry Driving Championship and the continuation of the International Showjumping classes with the highly anticipated Ripon Select Foods Puissance finishing off the evening with competitors looking for that top spot jumping the Big Red Wall.
Sunday remains the ‘day of champions’ as the show comes to a climax with the crowning of the Supreme Products Supreme Horse and Supreme Products Supreme Pony of the Year and the JCB Leading Showjumper of the Year. You will also get the chance to see the awarding of the much-coveted Prince Naylors Philip Cup to the Pony Club team who have raced their way to victory in the Mounted Games heats. Rounding off a fantastic programme of equestrian talent will be the finale celebrations on Sunday evening marking the end of another fabulous edition of Horse of the Year Show.
