The British Showjumping Awards Ball 2025 took place last night at the elegant St John’s Hotel in Solihull, and Simon Coates Photography was proud to be there capturing every special moment. This prestigious event celebrates the achievements and dedication of riders, owners, and supporters from across the British show jumping community.
Our photography team covered the evening in full, from the on-stage awards presentations to the excitement and atmosphere of the ballroom. In addition to photographing the awards themselves, we also ran our on-site photo studio, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy professional portraits and purchase high-quality prints on the night to take home as a keepsake.
Events like the British Showjumping Awards Ball are always a highlight in our calendar, and it was fantastic to see so many familiar faces from the equestrian world. Congratulations to all of the award winners and nominees — your talent and commitment continue to inspire everyone involved in the sport.
As the celebrations wrap up, we’d like to wish the very best of luck to all those competing at HOYS (Horse of the Year Show) this week. We’ll be cheering you on and can’t wait to see more incredible performances. All of the photos can be viewed by clicking the button below and, as a thank you to those that bought prints from us on the night, we've added a digital copy of the prints to our Facebook page for you to tag and share!
