HAPPA’s head of Equine Operations, Amanda Berry, said: “Once again we are truly grateful to members of the public who continue to support HAPPA and those who nominated us for the Award with Petplan and ADCH.

"This year has been particularly challenging for all the HAPPA Team, but we have continued to strive and go above and beyond to ensure the best for every horse or pony at Shores Hey Farm, and continued our investigations into cruelty and neglect.

"I am especially pleased for Stefan as it recognises his contribution to the Team and his care and dedication to the equines assigned to his care. I wish every nominee the best of luck for the finals."
