Each October, the NEC in Birmingham undergoes a horsey transformation like no other in order to host the incredibly impressive Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) which is the biggest week of the year for equestrian entertainment. The show takes place this year from 2nd – 6th October 2019 at The NEC Birmingham Resorts World Arena and tickets are on sale now so don’t miss out. Whether you are horse-mad, want to shop ’til you drop, or just want to enjoy a spectacular display of entertainment, ‘HOYS’ has something for everyone.
Horse of the Year Show really is the ultimate celebration of the horse; every showing and national showjumping class has to be qualified for throughout the year, so you are guaranteed to be seeing the best of the best compete for the overall champion’s title. Every performance includes an element of competition along with a variety of displays from around the world and the adrenaline-filled Pony Club Mounted Games, where teams will be competing in heats each day for their chance to win the highly-esteemed Prince Philip Cup on Sunday evening!
Aside from the arena entertainment, there are also hundreds of shops located in the Retail Village and plenty of food and drink outlets to keep you fuelled and ready to explore the show. Visitors have the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the wonderful horses and ponies in the Meet the Horses feature area located in the Retail Village and rub shoulders with some of their favourite riders with the celebrity rider signings. Spread across five days visitors will experience spectacular horsemanship and be left feeling full of admiration for the spectacular talent on display.
