THERE has been a mixed reaction from the showing community as the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) judging panel is confirmed.
HOYS organisers Grandstand Media unveiled a “new approach” to the 2024 judge announcement process, as the show celebrates its 75th year. A range of judges from across the world have been invited, and although the 15 judges who comprise “the main contingent” have been named, who is judging each section will not be revealed until the morning of each final. There will be some additional judges confirmed nearer the time.
A Grandstand Media spokesman said they are “always considering ways to adapt and modernise, with a focus on equal opportunity within the sport”.
The spokesman added that if any competitors believe they have a conflict of interest with a judge, evidence should be emailed to the show secretary.
