NEW ZEALAND Show Jumper HORSE of the Year
OLYMPIC CUP
First Presented in 1953 to Peter Holden riding Starlight. Donated by Mrs R S Fullerton-Smith (Bessie). Maurice Beatson has won the cup five times over a thirty year time period, his first win came in 1983 on Nationwide and his latest win came in 2013 on My Gollywog.
John Cottle has six titles to his name and is the most prolific winner of the Olympic cup to date. Maurice Beatson (with 5 wins) and Katie McVean (with 5 wins) are hot on his heels. In 2013 carrots were added to the cup during presentation as the horses would always try to eat the fresh roses in the cup.
