The Sir Colin Spedding Award sub-committee Chair Jane Holderness-Roddam 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.”
