The Horse & Hound Awards, in partnership with NAF and Agria, are back for 2026!

As previously, the H&H Award winners will be nominated and voted for by you. We seek to recognise both the big names who have made 2025 special and the unsung heroes who make it possible for all of us to enjoy equestrian sport and our horses, at whatever level.

Anyone is welcome to nominate the person, group or horse they feel deserves recognition. 

Nominations close at 5:00pm on Thursday, 10 September.

We will announce the shortlisted candidates on 8 October online and in the magazine, sharing their stories and inviting you to vote for your winners online, with voting closing on 16 October. The winners will be revealed at a star-studded ceremony at Dallas Burston Polo Club, The IXL Events Centre on 25 November, while everyone following from home can read about all the winners online, on social media and in the following week’s magazine. Find out more information about the 2026 categories at https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/awards

Competition Time! 

Enhance your nomination by submitting a short 15–30 second video explaining why your nominee deserves to win. Every video nomination will be entered into a prize draw to win a luxury hamper worth £250. 

By submitting a video, you agree that it may be shared across Horse & Hound's social media channels. We'd also love for you to share your video on Instagram, tagging @horseandhound and using #HHAwards.
