HORSE & HOUND AWARDS 2018 OPEN FOR ENTRIES
Tuesday 21 August 2018
The Horse & Hound Awards 2018 are now open, with the opportunity for anyone in the horseworld to nominate the people, horses and groups they believe are deserving of recognition this year.
With the Awards now in their third year, the annual ceremony will take place on 8 November at Cheltenham Racecourse, where all the shortlisted candidates will party the night away at a star-studded, glittering evening attended by more than 250 people.
Previous winners include Rio Olympic individual gold medallist Nick Skelton, who won the first Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, Nicola Wilson and Charlotte Dujardin.
H&H Editor-in-Chief Sarah Jenkins said: “We’re very much looking forward to receiving nominations for
this year’s awards. The response to these awards over the past two years has been staggering and the number of nominations we have received is testament to the strength of feeling from riders and owners for their
heroes — both those idols on the world stage and those more local heroes who keep all of our horses fit and well all year round and who give up their time so others can enjoy their sport.
“I would encourage everyone to consider who has made a difference to their riding lives in 2018, who is most deserving of praise, who does not get the recognition they deserve, and who they look up to and admire. We want to hear all these stories and tell them to the rest of the horseworld.”
This year Horse & Hound invites nominations in 11 Award categories before the deadline of 11.59pm on Sunday, 23 September. Nominations can be made at horseandhound.co.uk/awards or on the coupon in today’s magazine (dated 16 August).
The shortlisted candidates in each category will be announced in Horse & Hound’s 11 October issue, revealing their stories and welcoming readers to vote for their winners online by the closing date of
18 October.
