Winners crowned at glittering Horse & Hound Awards, and more things the horse world is talking about


  • Horse & Hound Awards winners crowned

    Equine and human heroes were celebrated in style at the dazzling 2024 Horse & Hound Awards at Dallas Burston Polo Club last night (28 November). H&H editor-in-chief Sarah Jenkins said that it was an honour to “see once again what it means to those who are nominated, shortlisted and supported by some 107,000 votes in these annual awards”. The awards, held in partnership with NAF and Agria, were attended by some 300 people, including Paris Olympic and Paralympic medallists, amateur riders, vets, farriers, grooms, owners, sponsors and more. William Fox-Pitt, who announced his retirement from top-level eventing at Badminton and officially bowed out in an emotional ceremony at Burghley, was presented with the Horse & Hound Lifetime Achievement award.
