Welcome to the Horse & Hound Awards 2025 – celebrating the stars of equestrianism, in partnership with NAF and Agria

We’re back! This year celebrates the 10th edition of the Horse & Hound Awards, running in partnership with NAF and Agria.

Last year’s awards attracted more than 107,000 votes. We are thrilled to be planning a glittering ceremony at Dallas Burston Polo Club in Warwickshire. Some 300 people, including stars of the summer’s Europeans, will gather to enjoy a glamorous evening of champagne, winner reveals, speeches and dancing.

The H&H Awards winners will be nominated and voted for by you. We seek to recognise the big names who made 2025 special and the unsung heroes who make it possible for us to enjoy our horses, and the sport.

You can nominate any person, group or horse you feel is worthy of recognition using the links below.

After nominations close at 5pm on 23 September, the H&H judging panel will decide on a shortlist. The panel will be influenced by the number of nominations and strength of the story of the nominee’s dedication and achievement.

In our 23 October issue, we will announce the shortlisted candidates, sharing their stories and inviting you to vote for your winners online. Voting closes at 5pm on 30 October.

The winners will be revealed at a star-studded ceremony on 26 November, and featured online, on social media and in the following week’s magazine (4 December).
