Equestrian Showing
The Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) has revealed its judges for 2026 but will withhold class assignments until the evening before finals, reviving a format from 2024. Organisers cite transparency and fairness, though reactions among competitors are mixed. This approach aims to level the playing field while managing potential conflicts of interest.
