Our beloved Ballyhoo Trophy which is awarded to the winner of the Pony Grand Prix Series winner went missing recently and had to be replaced. We now have a shiny new trophy but are missing dates and names of previous winners of the Ballyhoo between the years 1988 and 2003.

We’ve searched through our records and archives but to no avail, so opened the hunt to the wider Jumping community. Thanks to some sharp memories and the powers of social media, we’ve been able to gathered some of the records. But we are missing a few records from the late 80s-early 90s.

Can you help us fill in the blanks? We welcome you to dig through any archives, old Horse and Pony magazines to help us fill the gaps.
