Sportsmen and women were also honoured at the annual ceremony
THE British eventing team, young riders and a high-profile owner were among the winners at this year’s Animal Health Trust (AHT) UK Equestrian Awards.
The event at London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on 31 October was hosted by AHT president The Princess Royal.
This year’s special award was won by Lady Harris, one of Scott Brash’s owners, for her “tireless commitment to the health and welfare of animals”. She chaired the committee for the AHT awards for three years from 2014, raising more than £130,000 for the charity at last year’s event.
