Every October Birmingham’s
NEC and Genting Arena becomes an equestrian lover’s paradise as the Horse of
the Year Show (HOYS) transforms 50 acres of the site into a thrilling five-day event, with an exhilarating programme of displays and competitions. The
competitions include the crowd favourite Puissance, which pushes horses and
their riders to their absolute limit as they attempt to scale a huge red wall
that exceeds heights of 7ft.
Enjoy
the exhilaration of the Pony Club Mounted Games as six teams compete for the
Prince Philip Cup during a series of fun games and races including favourites
Bending, Flag and Mug as well as more obscure ones, like The Tack Shop, Beanbag
and The Pony Club Pole. Away from the show arenas, there’s also a Retail Village
featuring over 250 stalls where you can buy everything equestrian as well as
arts, crafts and gourmet food, as well as activities for young children.
