Championing Horse Happiness 🦄

We are proud to present The BioStar Happy Horse Award this year at The 141st National Horse Show.

BioStar puts horse happiness, harmony, and welfare first, offering a new award celebrating the harmony between horse and rider at the highest levels of equestrian sport.

This year, the BioStar Happy Horse Award will be presented to one horse-and-rider pair showing in the $75,000 National Horse Show Hunter Classic.

“At BioStar, we believe that a truly successful partnership between horse and rider starts with harmony and respect. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Happy Horse Award, recognizing horses and caretakers who exemplify welfare, joy, and a positive connection—even in the most demanding competition settings.”

An award recipient could be the winning horse OR a horse that places below the winning ride. It may have made a few mistakes in the ring, or not been quite as brilliant as the winning horse, but best promotes horse welfare and exemplifies those happy, harmonious qualities the sport should be rewarding.

“This award is not just a prize to be won, but an effort to help promote positive interactions in the show ring and highlight equestrians who put their horses’ health and happiness above a medal, ribbon, or prize money. As our sponsored riders and valued customers will tell you, a happy horse is key to achieving peak performance and maintaining a lasting partnership.”

- Cynthia Montague, founder of BioStar US

Stay tuned tomorrow to see who wins the inaugural BioStar Happy Horse Award at The National Horse Show…
