Horse of the Year Show 2021

The incredible Horse of the Year Show returns to Resorts World Arena in October 2021. For more information on this year's event, check out the official Horse of the Year Show website here.

Following the recent Government announcements, we have decided to go ahead with the planning of a fantastic HOYS 2021, and the event will return to the NEC Birmingham in October, with a ticketed audience.

Along with exceptional competition and displays, the first part of the week is packed with all the fan favourites including the Mountain and Moorland classes on Wednesday through to Friday, National Showjumping championships on Thursday, and the prestigious Price Family Supreme In-Hand Championship showcasing on Friday.

Things hot up on the weekend, as the Saturday daytime showcases championships galore in both the TopSpec Arena and the Andrews Bowen International Arena. The evening performance is equally exhilarating with the final installment of the Osborne Refrigerators Scurry Driving Championship and the continuation of the international showjumping classes including the highly anticipated Ripon Select Foods Puissance.

Sunday remains the ‘day of champions’ as the show comes to a climax with the crowning of the Horse of the Year Show Supreme Horse and Pony of the Year and the Leading Showjumper of the Year. You will also get the chance to see the awarding of the much-coveted Prince 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.

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.
