Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) wishes to announce that following an investigation into the outcome of the Cuddy Supreme In-Hand Championship qualifier at Kent County Show, and despite the rumours on social media regarding the qualification at Kent County Show, the existing qualification of Lemonshill Falcon through to the Championship at HOYS will stand.
The HOYS organisers are not wholly satisfied that the spirit of the Cuddy Supreme In-Hand was correctly administered and this incident has brought to light some anomalies on how competitors and exhibits qualify for this prestigious Championship. Following this, Grandstand Media Ltd, HOYS’ organiser, will be reviewing and redefining the rules around the Cuddy Supreme In-Hand Championship in order to maintain its integrity for the future.
Information on the Cuddy Supreme In-Hand Championship and its qualifiers for the 2015 season will be released later on this year.
