In next month’s magazine, we shall be reporting on the Horse of the Year Show, “The World’s Most Famous Horse Show” as it returns to Birmingham’s NEC from Wednesday 7th October to Sunday 11th October 2015.
We shall be covering showing, dressage and jumping classes although this is by no means the full extent of the show. For further information, click here for full daily timetable information.
We shall watch with interest the new Ladies Side Saddle Horse of the Year class, which replaces the Ladies Hunter of the Year Championship for the first time in 2015, won by our own resident showing writer Jayne Pimbley in 2014.
We would like to wish all of our readers who are competing at the Horse of the Year Show, the very best of luck!

Calendar of County Shows in the UK
County Shows
Whether you are a competitor or spectator interested in showing or show jumping, our county shows are always a great day out. Often with lots more to see beyond equestrian related activities, this also makes it great entertainment for the rest of the family. What’s more interesting is that approximately 6 million people visit agricultural shows a year, approximately 10% of the population!

jayne-ladies-hunter-2014
Jayne has had a very successful 2014 with Deauville, qualifying her several times for HOYS. The 5 yo mare first qualified with Jayne at Three Counties show and since then has won many more classes and Championships.
Jayne took her to HOYS which was expected to be a little bit daunting for a 5 yo, but she took it all in her stride, behaving like she had been there before.
She was amazing in the class and did a super show, getting the highest marks and Jayne also receiving the highest ride mark.
This topped the season off with Jayne taking the HOYS title of ‘Ladies Hunter of the Year 2014’.
