Open the door to our seasonal advent calendar

Visit the site every day from 1-25 December, to see HHO team’s top 25 horses

To celebrate the festive season, Horse & Hound Online’s editorial team has selected 25 special horses to star in our seasonal online advent calendar.

Each of the equine personalities who star in our calendar have earned recognition either because of outstanding sporting achievements or simply because they have made a lasting impression on us all.

Among our favourites are some horses who are now only with us in memory, while others remain at the very top of their field.

So who have we included? Visit the site every day during December and click on the related articles below to see if you agree with our choices.
