Horse of the Year Show

Given the ongoing situation it is with great regret that we now have no alternative but to cancel Horse of the Year Show 2020. We look forward to staging the 72nd edition of the event from Wednesday 6th – Sunday 10th October 2021, at the NEC Birmingham.

At the forefront of our minds is our responsibility to safeguard the large number of people who come together to make Horse of the Year Show happen - the visitors, competitors, staff, officials, volunteers, partners, trade exhibitors and contractors - as well as our wider responsibility to support the efforts to tackle this challenge to our everyday lives.

We are sure that cancelling this year’s Horse of the Year Show will be as great a disappointment for you as it is for us, it is your passion for HOYS that has made our event what it is today and it is undeniable that without the support of the equestrian community HOYS would not continue to happen.

If you purchased your tickets through our official box office, The Ticket Factory, please see their FAQs here. If not, please contact your point of purchase directly.

Our performance times are usually confirmed closer to the show. We’ll post the times as soon as we can get them, so check back about a week before for updates.
