Bolesworth is proud to announce the confirmation of five exceptional young horses selected as wild cards for the prestigious Bolesworth Elite Auction, taking place on the evening of Friday 4th July 2025.

Handpicked following an impressive first week of competition in the CSIYH1* at the Bolesworth International presented by Al Shira’aa, these elite horses will now be auction-ready and available exclusively for trial, viewing, and purchase during the auction period.

Carefully monitored by the Bolesworth Auction panel in association with Macleans of London, these horses have passed a rigorous five-stage vetting process including full x-rays completed by Peter Schofield at Hird & Partners, Cheshire.

In a unique move, the wild card horses will not compete in Week Two of the show to ensure they remain in peak condition and fully accessible to prospective buyers. Among them is the newly crowned Bolesworth International 7YO Champion – who also comes with a ticket to HOYS.
