First Presented in 1953.
Donated by Mrs R S Fullerton-Smith (Bessie), Marton. Bessie seldom missed presenting the trophy in person for over more than four decades.
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.

Showjumping rider with the most points at the Horse of the Year
Donated by Maurice Beatson.
The Nationwide Cup is named after one of Maurice Beatsons’ horses which won the Olympic Cup in 1983 and 1984. Nationwide was an interesting horse – formerly owned by the Hansen brothers. Folklore has it show director Kevin Hansen was dropped three times at the Taihape Show by this rather headstrong horse and came out of the ring offering him for sale to almost anyone who was handy.
