Ebony Horse Club has won its second FEI solidarity award, 10 years after it first took the title.
The London club has been recognised as the best of the decade in this year’s international awards, which sought the winners of the past 10 years rather than just 2020 owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
It was the second award of the week for Ebony, whose horse Splash was named inspirational animal of the year in the 2020 Daily Mirror Animal Hero Awards.
Ebony general manager Naomi Howate told
H&H it was a fantastic week for the club.
“It’s been amazing to win these two awards,” she said. “We were the furthest back nominee as we won in 2009, so we weren’t fresh in people’s minds, and the others in the category were fantastic.
