Horse of the Year Show
Grandstand Media the organisation that runs Horse of the Year Show are proposing a change to the way that competitors will qualify for what is considered by many in the Ridden Arabian showing world as the most prestigious show in the calender. The proposal is to change from a first past the post system, to setting up a qualification league, where a competitor would collect points determined by their placings at each qualification show they attend. It has not been clarified exactly how this system would operate if it was adopted but it would be at least two years before it would be implemented.

Surely this will remove some good horses from the competion. Not every one can afford the time or money to travel up & down the country to shows to qualify?
