The Royal International Horse Show supreme ridden horse, currently sponsored by Barberstown Castle, has a long and prestigious history dating back to 1978.
The champion hunter, Arab, riding horse, hack, cob and coloured (if over 14.2hh) all have the chance to be crowned supreme ridden horse champion at Hickstead on the final day of the Agria Royal International Horse Show. The winner is awarded the Winston Churchill trophy, while the breeder of the supreme ridden horse receives the Dorian Williams trophy.
Prior to 2002, when the supreme pony title was introduced, the pony champions competed against the horses for the overall supreme ridden title. Two ponies successfully lifted the overall supreme title: Royal Bronze in 1993 and Trelawn Playboy in 2001.
