After last year’s online presentations, the awards return in person with a ceremony planned for 1 December at Cheltenham Racecourse. 

Following a memorable summer of equestrian sport, expect big names to appear among the recipients, alongside the behind-the-scenes heroes who make it all possible.  

Previous winners include 2016 Olympic showjumping champion Nick Skelton, Olympic triple gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin, Badminton winner Piggy French and disability campaigner and amateur showjumper Evie Toombes.
