NEF Sir Colin Spedding Award nominations open

The award celebrates the unsung heroes of the equestrian world.

The National Equine Forum (NEF) is inviting nominations for the Sir Colin Spedding Award 2024.

The annual award shines a light on exceptional individuals and organisations in the equestrian sector who haven’t yet been given the recognition their work deserves.

It was introduced in 2013 in memory of Sir Colin Spedding, founding chairman of the NEF, who chaired the event for 20 years until his death in 2012.

Previous winners include Charlotte Thornycroft, who won the 2023 award for her work helping horses in Ukraine, and Dr Andrew Waller, who received the award in recognition of the collective work of the Animal Health Trust’s Infectious Disease Group.

Nomination can be made online and should include no more than 100 words on why the proposed individual or organisation should be considered. The deadline for making a nomination is 31, July 2023.

The winner will be invited to attend the National Equine Forum, where the award will be formally presented.

Jane Holderness-Roddam, the chaior of the Sir Colin Spedding Award sub-committee, said: “During the past decade the Sir Colin Spedding Award has become one of the most coveted accolades within the equestrian sector. Not least because it gives those who have otherwise hidden their light under a bushel, the time to truly shine.”
