Now firmly established as a biannual highlight of the showjumping calendar, we are proud to present this edition at two iconic British venues: the London International Horse Show at ExCeL each December, and The Agria Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead each July.
What began as a vision to support and reinvigorate a post-Brexit UK marketplace has evolved into a globally recognised platform. Today, The Brilliance Horse Auction brings together riders, owners, breeders and enthusiasts from around the world, drawn by a shared passion for discovering and supporting the showjumping stars of the future.
At the heart of TBHAC is a team united by expertise, integrity and a deep respect for the horses we represent. Each entry in this catalogue has been selected with exceptional care: assessed, trialled and discussed in detail to ensure that only horses of true quality, talent and promise are showcased. Achieving this standard requires remarkable dedication and coordination. We extend our sincere thanks to The Billy Stud, Breen Equestrian Ltd, Equisportif Ltd and Hascombe Farm Equestrian Centre for their professionalism, collaboration and hard work in bringing this collection to life.
Above all, we are profoundly grateful to those who have entrusted their horses to us. Their belief, time and commitment are the foundation of what makes this auction special. Without them, there is no catalogue, no stage and no story to tell.
There is a rare magic to the London International Horse Show, particularly in the days leading up to Christmas. This atmosphere blends world-class sport with seasonal celebration, making it one of the most treasured events in the British social and sporting calendar. It is a privilege for The Brilliance Horse Auction to stand alongside The H Power Group as an established and valued feature of this prestigious occasion.
We have a horse for everybody, from Junior to your 5* Grand Prix Championship rider. The list of horses & producers has tripled since we started in 2022, as we not only draw on the Breen Equestrian and Billy Stud stables, but from producers and breeders across England & Ireland.
We started looking for this collection even before we had the auction at the Agria Royal International Show at Hickstead. We went to Addington, Arena UK, and the Hickstead Young Horse Championship, among others, to try to spot the next Brilliance star, finding horses we believe have shown the talent and potential to rise to the top of the sport. We have followed these horses as they have developed and matured throughout the year. Every horse has been produced with the knowledge and expertise of world-class riders, ready for top-level competition. Every horse has their own qualities and characteristics, but ones we truly believe are ready to make an impression in the sport.
Venue-wise, the history of the London International Horse Show is phenomenal. It's somewhere every equestrian wants to be before Christmas. Come for the whole week and enjoy the full experience of the London International Show. We have Brilliance events all week, with hospitality boxes to watch the fantastic 5* show jumping - it's a great experience where you can be looked after.
Make sure to book your VIP table for the auction, with canapes and champagne on arrival, and a mezze platter delivered to your table, so you have the best seat in the house!
We warmly invite you to join us for the auction on the evening of Saturday 20th December, whether in person or online, as we celebrate outstanding horses, remarkable talent and the journeys that lie ahead.
