Celebrating a Legacy: Caroline Moore Awarded the Inaugural Freddie Fox Award

In a heartfelt tribute to an influential figure in the equestrian community, the late Caroline Moore has been honored posthumously with the first-ever Freddie Fox award. This recognition, bestowed by the esteemed equine education provider Horses Inside Out, celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to equine welfare, education, and the understanding of equine anatomy.

A Champion for Equestrian Education

Presented at the recent Horses Inside Out conference held on February 21-22, 2026, the award acknowledges Caroline's lifelong dedication to the equestrian industry. Her commitment to education and training has made a lasting impact, particularly through her work with the Performance Mentoring Programme (PMP), a vital initiative she founded to support professional event riders.

Leaving a Lasting Impact

Caroline's legacy extends far beyond her passing at the age of 56. She was not only a prominent coach and fellow of the British Horse Society but also an inspiring mentor who helped riders of all ages achieve their goals. Her passion for equestrian sports continued undeterred, even as she faced a challenging cancer diagnosis years before her death. Her positivity and unwavering support for riders remain a significant part of her legacy.

Words of Gratitude

Sue Ringrose, a PMP mentor who accepted the award on Caroline's behalf, emphasized the values that Caroline stood for, including her passion for education and horse welfare. “This award epitomizes all her values,” Sue stated, highlighting the deep respect and admiration held for Caroline within the equestrian community.

A Continuing Influence

As noted by Horses Inside Out founder Gillian Higgins, Caroline's role was pivotal in the development of their educational initiatives, and her impact on the world of eventing will be felt for generations to come. The freedoms and innovations in equine welfare brought forth by Caroline's methodologies are expected to enhance the sport historically and into the future, filtering down through grassroots equestrianism as well.

In honoring Caroline Moore, the equestrian community not only commemorates her outstanding contributions but also reflects on the values of dedication, positivity, and education that she championed throughout her life.
