The Foxhunter final at HOYS has a long and illustrious history. Here we look back at the special horses that have held the title...

The list of past Foxhunter winners is a dazzling one. The championship is named after Sir Harry Llewellyn’s famous showjumper, who jumped clear at the 1952 Olympic Games to help the team secure Britain’s only gold medal of the games. The national showjumping final has been held at HOYS (Horse of the Year Show) since its inception in 1954.
