Horse Of the Year Show, LG Arena, Birmingham

Equine lovers from across the world are to flock to Birmingham in October for the Horse Of the Year Show (HOYS).

Taking place at the LG Arena in the UK's second city, the event is scheduled from October 7th to October 11th and will see a world-class line-up of showing and show-jumping horses on display.

Regarded as the most famous equestrian show in the world, the HOYS Leading Show Jumper of the Year will be the climax of the event on the Sunday evening.

"The stunning line-up of displays will be shaped with a musical theme and include the HOYS School Musical ride to music by the Cheshire North Hunt Pony Club and a dramatic performance by Daniel Naprous and his team of stuntmen," explains the show's organisers.

Birmingham's NEC is playing host a week earlier to A Place in the Sun Live, the only dedicated overseas UK property event.

Over 100 exhibitors will show more than 1,000 properties in over 40 countries between October 2nd and October 4th.
