The organisers of the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) have announced the 2024 HOYS judges for the final, but in a significant step away from how the show has run previously, who will be judging each class will not be revealed until the morning of each competition.

HOYS is celebrating its 75th year and to mark the occasion, taking place on 9-13 October 2024, a range of judges from across the world have been invited to judge across the week.
