The Sir Colin Spedding Award will be presented annually, but only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit, to an individual or an organisation that has made an exceptional contribution to the world of horses, ponies or donkeys. This contribution may be in connection with one or more specific projects, or may be over an extended period of time.
In 2017 we are delighted to have shortlisted three candidates of great merit as finalists for the Sir Colin Spedding Award. All have made significant contributions to the equine industry and we look forward to recognising this today.
