The British Horse Society Equestrian Hall of Fame was launched in 2005 to pay homage to the people and horses who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of Equestrianism in Great Britain. Elections to the Hall of Fame are made by a Panel of laureates and the British Horse Society Chairman. The panel meets annually to consider suggestions put forward from within the panel, BHS Members, and by the general public. On 20 February 2008 a wall of plaques at the Household Cavalry’s barracks in Knightsbridge, London were revealed in a ceremony by Anne, Princess Royal.
