NOMINATE YOUR HEROES FOR THE HORSE & HOUND AWARDS 2020 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NAF

 

Nominations are now open for the Horse & Hound Awards 2020 in partnership with NAF.

The prestigious event is being delivered as a virtual, multi-media online bonanza on
2 December, meaning every equestrian fan around the world can join the celebration.

With the H&H Awards now in their fifth year, previous winners include Rio Olympic individual showjumping gold medallist Nick Skelton, who won the first Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, last year’s Badminton winner Piggy French and double Olympic individual dressage gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin.

This year’s awards will celebrate the heroes of the decade in elite equestrian sport, while honouring the unsung stars who have helped our industry, our horses and our spirits through this extraordinary year.

H&H editor-in-chief Sarah Jenkins says: “The H&H Awards have grown every year and it’s wonderful to welcome NAF back as our headline partner for 2020. We look forward to working with them to bring together something special for the equestrian community in this unusual year.

“Every autumn we are bowled over by the number of nominations and votes sent in and the wonderful stories the awards turn up – the blind therapy pony Smurf who won last year was a wonderful example. We look forward to receiving nominations this time, in both the year and decade categories.”

NAF marketing manager Mel Newman adds: “NAF are very proud once again to be the headline partner at the 2020 H&H Awards, this time with a very timely virtual twist making them accessible to all in the comfort of our own homes.

“The new and very ‘2020’ format of what we still believe to be the most important awards in our industry is a chance to celebrate not only this spectacular decade of sport and horsemanship, but also the wonderful people and horses who showed their incredible ability to keep calm and carry on during these unprecedented times.”

This year Horse & Hound invites nominations in 12 award categories before the deadline of 5pm on Sunday, 4 October. Nominations can be made at horseandhound.co.uk/awards

The shortlisted candidates in each category will be announced in Horse & Hound’s 29 October issue, revealing their stories and welcoming readers to vote for their winners online by the closing date of 5 November.
