Every year over 60,000 visitors make the journey to Horse of the Year Show at the Genting Arena, Birmingham’s NEC for five days of edge-of-your-seat action, world-class competition, lavish shopping and celebrity rider signings. With something on offer for every member of the family, it really is the most elite and exclusive event in the equestrian calendar. Luxury is a given with the unrivalled ring-side views which the hospitality seating beholds, serving exquisite lunch time and evening meals and champagne reception in a black tie ambiance. Champions Bar offers a more sociable and relaxed atmosphere providing panoramic views of the arena and complimentary tea and coffee; the perfect environment for networking and catching up with friends. The grandstand seating offers a variety of different ticketing options with prices.
There’s a spectrum of supreme entertainment this year, including: National Showing and Showjumping Championships, International Showjumping Competition and two never seen before displays as Atkinson Action Horses present LIMITLESS and the Caspian Horse Society demonstrate The Story of the Caspian Horse. Taking place each day will be the Virbac 3D Worming Pony Club Mounted Games as they compete for the Prince Philip Cup and the Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry Championship. Thursday’s Dressage Masterclass will be delivered by double Olympic Gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin and the Saturday night highlight is the world famous HOYS Puissance. Sunday’s Gala evening is a party not to be missed with a celebration of everything equestrian. This year the crowd will be treated to a musical performance like no other as the Red Hot Chilli Pipers play their way into the HOYS Finale with their ground-breaking fusion of traditional Scottish music and rock/pop anthems which they proudly call ‘Bagrock’.
