EHOA Director Resignation – Miranda Heynes

Miranda Heynes has decided to resign as a Director of the EHOA with immediate effect.

Miranda feels that she is unable to give the role the time and commitment she would like to and wishes to dedicate more time to her family.

During her three years as a Director, Miranda has thrown herself wholeheartedly into supporting the Association. She has an enormous passion for grassroots eventing and has worked tirelessly to support others, encourage new members to join the Association and raise the profile of our sport.

On a personal level, I would like to thank Miranda sincerely for the time, effort and dedication she has given to the EHOA during her time on the Board. Her passion for eventing and her commitment to helping others have been greatly appreciated.

On behalf of myself and the Board, I would like to wish Miranda and her family all the very best for the future.

Thankfully, Miranda will remain very much part of our eventing community, continuing to compete, own horses and, above all, support the sport she loves.

Thank you, Miranda, for everything you have contributed to the EHOA. We wish you and your family every happiness for the future.

The Bicton October International Horse Trials

This year the Organisers at The Bicton October International Horse Trials and the Event Horse Owners Association (EHOA) have teamed up for a BE90 3DE enhanced owner rider prize pot. 

Due to the high number of entries in the Section, it will need to be split. The EHOA have agreed to double the original prize money pledged.

The prize money is as follows for the top 6 owner rider entries in each of the BE90 3DE sections


1st     £200

2nd   £100

3rd    £40

4th     £20

5th     £20

6th     £20

In addition to this prize money the EHOA have agreed to pay an additional £100 to any owner/rider that wins an EHOA prize if they are a paid up EHOA members before starting their dressage test.

You can find out more about the EHOA here.  EHOA – The Event Horse Owners Association

All owner riders entered in the BE90 3DE will be eligible, you do not need to be a member of the EHOA just registered with BE as the sole owner rider.

Alex Wakeley (Chair EHOA) commented, “We are absolutely delighted to be supporting Helen West at Bicton International for the BE90 Sections. The EHOA are doing this to support owner riders at the Grassroots of the sport, BE members have often thought the EHOA was only for owners of elite horses which is not the case. Good luck to everyone and see you there.”
