HOYS STATEMENT REGARDING COVID-19

Currently Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) will proceed as planned, however it is important to recognise that this is a fluid and ever-changing situation and we will be guided by the latest government recommendations. At this time there is no direct advice regarding large events taking place later on in the year, we are therefore continuing to organise and prepare for HOYS 2020 in October. We are doing this to ensure that competitors and attendees will have the best event experience, while also limiting the impacts that cancellation would cause to our customers and the industry as a whole.

The History of Hoys

Ode To The Horse

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity?
Here where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined.

He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent;
there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.

England’s past has been borne on his back.
All our history is in his industry.
We are his heirs;
He is our inheritance.
The Horse!
