British Eventing presented its annual performance trophies during a special ceremony at the Event Horse Owners Association (EHOA) Lunch at Badminton Horse Trials on Wednesday 7th May 2024.
Celebrating excellence across all levels of the sport, from Pony and Junior Championships through to the Olympic Games, the awards recognised the standout achievements of riders and horses during the 2024 season.

Isabelle Cook claimed the Edy Goldman Cup for Leading U21 Rider, while Coco Lanni and Arabella Henderson were recognised for their top performances at Junior and Pony European Championships, respectively. Jasmine Underwood was awarded the Sir John Burder Trophy for winning gold at the Young Rider European Championships.
At Senior level, Laura Collett received the Jane Holderness-Roddam Trophy for being the highest placed senior British rider at the Paris Olympics, where she secured an individual bronze medal.
