Showing enthusiasts came together at the East of England Showground to celebrate at the Showing World ‘End of Season Showing Gala Presentation Dinner’.
The finalists and their guests enjoyed a delicious three course meal and danced the night away.
The glittering ceremony is a chance for everyone involved in showing and their connections to celebrate the past years achievements.
This year the Alltech Lifeforce Breeder of the Year award went to The Moortown Stud with The Llanarth Stud finishing as runner-up.
The shortlist included six of the top studs in the country and the winner was voted for by showing enthusiasts.
The Moortown Stud, situated on the edge of the beautiful New Forest National Park are breeders of top quality coloured horses and ponies as well as native breeds.
Winning this award is the icing on the cake after a successful season that saw three homebred horses qualify for HOYS together with wins at some of the most prestigious shows around the country.
Liz Wright of The Moortown Stud said “I cannot describe how much it means to me to win this award and would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for the Moortown Stud as their breeder of the year. We all had the most fantastic time at the showing awards”.
The Moortown Stud was presented with their award by Alltech’s UK Marketing Manager Isla Browne.
“Alltech are proud to be associated with such a prestigious event and are particularly delighted to support the Breeder of the Year Award as the breeders are the life blood of the Showing World producing the stars of the future” said Isla.
