Finding out who’s judging which fixture takes a lot of time and effort, so I’ve collated your need-to-know information for the 2026 HOYS in-hand qualifiers. If you’ve got big dreams of qualifying your home-bred for the Price Supreme in-hand championship at Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) and joining the list of HOYS supreme in-hand champions, this should make the planning much more straightforward.

While the HOYS qualifier shows have been announced for 2026, many of the hosts have not revealed their judges yet, so I’m frequently updating this page with all the new details as they are released.
