Horse of the Year Show 2021 To Go Ahead in October 2021

We are delighted to announce that this year’s Horse of the Year Show will take place at NEC Birmingham on 6th – 10th October 2021.

Ahead of tickets going on general sale at 10am on Friday 14th May, the timetable for Horse of the Year Show 2021 has been released allowing you to plan your visit in advance. With exciting display announcements still to come, you can view the timetable on the HOYS website: hoys.co.uk/timetable.

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.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 14th May through the website hoys.co.uk/tickets and the Box Office: 0344 581 8282 (Call charges may apply according to your phone company's access charge). Disabled bookings can be made by calling 0800 640 5001 and discounts are available for groups of 10+ through the Groups Booking Line on 0800 358 0058 or by emailing groups@theticketfactory.com.
