Agria Horse of a Lifetime

Agria Horse of a Lifetime: because heroes come in every shape and size

Here at Agria, we love all horses. They add so much to our lives and deliver us such joy on a daily basis. And for us all, there is usually one that holds a very special place in our hearts, that one in a million that just grabs us like no other and creates a bond that lasts a lifetime. We think it's time we celebrated those special souls and all that they do for us. From some of the most famous horses in the country to your own little hero who changed your life, we want to honour those horses and ponies who make the greatest impact. We want to know what makes them your horse of a lifetime.

Could your Horse of a Lifetime be the next winner?

Tell us about your special horse and what makes them your horse of a lifetime, and you could win our seasonal prize and a nomination for the Agria Horse of a Lifetime award at the prestigious Horse & Hound Awards in November!

The 2022 winner of Agria Horse of a Lifetime was none other than Carltonlima Emma. This little Fell Pony became the pin-up girl for all happy hacking ponies carrying our late Queen as her hack for some 15 years.

Then in 2023 it was the turn of Cashel Bay JJ, the superstar working hunter pony who won numerous prestigious championships with his young riders and is described as the “Roger Federer of ponies” by his owner, Polly Eddis.

How it works:

Entries may be made at any time from 13th March 2023.
Every three months we will shortlist four Horse of a Lifetime entrants from those entered who will each win a rosette and Agria baseball cap.
Shortlists will be drawn on the following dates: 29/02/2024, 31/05/2024, 31/08/2024, 30/11/2024.
We will share the shortlisted stories and pictures on our social media channels and invite people to vote for their winner from the four.
Shortlisted entrants are welcome to encourage friends to vote for their horse or pony. The voting period will be outlined in the social media post.
At the end of the voting period, votes will be counted to determine Agria’s seasonal Horse of a Lifetime winner who will be awarded a rosette and a personalised name plaque featuring a portrait of the winning horse.
All shortlisted Horses of a Lifetime will be nominated by Agria for the Agria Horse of a Lifetime award at the annual Horse & Hound awards in November.
