Win a Money Can’t Buy Equestrian Experience

To celebrate the continuing expansion of the all-new Bolesworth International, June the 14th to 18th, the team behind the event has pulled together an exciting competition which will provide a pair of weekend tickets to the must-do Equestrian and Lifestyle festival for one lucky winner, together with a place with their own horse, on an exclusive clinic with Geoff Billington at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire, on Tuesday the 11th of April 2023.

Legendary British showjumper Geoff Billington is a double Olympian and Hickstead Derby winner. He’s running the clinic with other top showjumpers as part of their preparation for the upcoming Bolesworth International. Geoff will be competing at Bolesworth, and also co-hosting a Masterclass with fellow Olympian Nicola Wilson on Wednesday 14th June.

The Bolesworth International will showcase world-class CSI 3* International showjumping along with classes for amateur levels as well as 5, 6 and 7-year-old Young Horses, but there’ll also be favourites such as Puissance, Fancy Dress, Mini Major and Ride & Drive.

New-for-2023 are an Eventing Grand Prix and Masterclass, a ‘Trooping the Colour’ Charity Park Ride, open to all levels of riders, in aid of the Riding for the Disabled Association and the amazing spectacle of Ben Atkinson and his incredible stunt horses.

From Friday, the lifestyle aspect of the event opens with a huge shopping village selling equestrian and premium brands, celebrity food and drink experiences, live music, children’s activities, action sports, family fun, have-a-go zones, and weekend camping!

The winner of the Bolesworth Facebook competition will be offered a bespoke training session with Geoff, which can be tailored to the rider’s jumping level, whether that’s 50cm or 1.25m. The prize includes, amongst many others, a haul of goodies from Bolesworth International brand partners such as a bag of feed worth £100 from Dodson Horrell, a media package from Events Through a Lens, and a set of Le Mieux Tendon boots, hood and saddle pad. A complimentary lunch for the winner and up to two guests is also part of the money-can’t-buy package, as is the opportunity to meet influencers and high-profile riders, who will contest the Bolesworth International in June, such as last year’s Grand Prix winner Louise Saywell, Richard Howley, Harlow Luna White (and Popcorn), Georgia Kavulok, Meg Elphick, Kate Lewis, Yaz Pinchen and Saskia Davies.

To enter: the competition go to our Facebook Page, like and comment on the competition post, with a picture of your horse and why you really want to win (one entry per person).

Bolesworth Joins Forces With Helite UK & RDA 1024 512 Daniel Shires

Bolesworth Joins Forces With Helite UK & RDA

Bolesworth has partnered with Helite UK and Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) for its 2023 season of equestrian events. 

When the relaunched Bolesworth International gets underway on Wednesday 14th June, Helite UK will be the Official Equestrian Safety Partner, and will work with Bolesworth to raise awareness around the importance of rider safety in Showjumping. To achieve this, they will set out to improve the knowledge and understanding of how airbag safety actually works, and its use in day-day and competitive equestrian life. The partnership will, via a rental scheme, provide access to Helite airbag systems to all competitors involved in Bolesworth events.  

“We have been keeping this under wraps for a while now,” said Peter Riley Managing Director “And are excited to announce that we are an official sponsor and Safety Brand Partner for Bolesworth during 2023. This is a massive step forward for the sport as Bolesworth is the first equestrian venue to promote the safety and wellbeing of their competitors as a core principle when running their events.” 

Nina Barbour Bolesworth Managing Director added; ‘I started to wear an airbag system over a year ago after seeing so many top riders embracing this new technology. I now wear mine every time I get on a horse – it makes me feel far braver! We look forward to promoting safety in our sport at Bolesworth alongside Helite UK.” 

The Riding for the Disabled Association charity will be the Official Equestrian Charity Partner. The organisation benefits the lives of over 17,000 disabled children and adults. With fun activities like riding and carriage driving, they provide therapy, fitness, skills development and opportunities for achievement – all supported by 13,000 volunteers and qualified coaches at nearly 500 RDA centres all over the UK. RDA will support Bolesworth equestrian events with demonstrations and activation such as its popular mechanical horse Charley.  

Lisa Davies, Head of RDA Communications, said; “We are delighted that Bolesworth International have chosen us as their charity partner for this prestigious event. RDA groups support thousands of disabled people every year from accessing physical exercise and achieving their therapeutic or personal goals; to combatting social isolation and boosting wellbeing and happiness. We know that the engagement between people and horses makes a very powerful impact, and we couldn’t do any of it without our amazing horses and volunteers, and the generous support of so many. We’re very grateful to Bolesworth for choosing us, and excited to share our work with visitors to the event. RDA delivers a lot more than people may realise, and this is a fantastic opportunity for us to demonstrate the value of what we do, the benefits of volunteering, and encourage visitors to get involved and help transform more lives.” 

“We are delighted to be partnering with the RDA as our official equestrian charity partner and help promote their vision in enriching the lives of disabled people through horses,” said Nina. “The charity works tirelessly to deliver the therapy and fun of horses to as many people as they can and carry out life-changing activities.” 

The full line-up of content for the brand new Bolesworth International will be released on Wednesday 22nd February, leading with live music, with high profile singers & DJs performing on Friday & Saturday nights, an incredible new shopping experience featuring your favourite Equestrian & Lifestyle brands, and a huge action & entertainment zone due to be open from Friday 16th – Sunday 18th June.  This will feature high energy displays and activities for the whole family from toddlers to equestrians and even for the petrol heads of the family!

 General Admission, VIP experiences and camping packages will go on general sale on Monday 27th February 2023 at 10am.

Commenting on the significant investment and all-new event, Bolesworth Managing Director Nina Barbour said; “The tradition of staging a world-class international horse show is still firmly in the DNA of the event, but we’re at the beginning of a brand-new and dynamic era for Bolesworth that will see the best music, sport, family and lifestyle events take centre-stage. The Horse Show is an event that I’m passionate about and will be taken to another level.

Day 5: Sporting Finale at Dodson & Horrell Bolesworth International Horse Show 1024 512 Daniel Shires

Day 5: Sporting Finale at Dodson & Horrell Bolesworth International Horse Show

The final day at the Dodson & Horrell Bolesworth International Horse Show delivered plenty of intense action across all classes, from the ultra-competitive big-money Dodson & Horrell CSI3* Grand Prix to the fun Fancy Dress Mini Major pairs relay.
 
Dodson & Horrell CSI3* 1.50m Grand Prix
The climax of the week came when title partner Dodson & Horrell’s 1.50m Grand Prix took to the ring and was won by Louise Saywell with Kingsborough Kasper, second was Angelie Von Essen on Daniel and third, Robert Murphy on How Easy.
 
This highly-revered event has been developed for the best of the best, it’s the one the riders aspire to win and is a huge test for both horse and rider. After a two-phase qualifying, 50 riders were seeded through to the main event to tackle the tightly-timed course, with its big and bold, yet delicate jumps.
 
The top 13 riders went through to a jump-off where the only three to go clear in the main event, put in faultless performances to fill the podium.

Nina Takes Home Win

Bolesworth’s managing director Nina Barbour donned her riding boots this morning to win the opening class of the day on home turf. She won the Röwer & Rüb Amateur 1.25m Grand Prix on her 12-year-old mare Ardis. “I’m delighted with my horse Ardis,” said Nina. “She is actually owned by my mum Diana Barbour. She’s back from injury which has taken a few years. She’s a little star and I’m really happy with her.”

Mini Majors at Bolesworth

The Le Mieux CSI3* Mini Major is a firm favourite at Bolesworth. All kitted out in fancy dress, pony riders pair up with a top international rider in a thrilling competition to each complete a showjumping round in the quickest time, with the fewest faults. The youngsters delighted the Bolesworth crowd with their skill and determination. Guy Williams with team-mate Alex Leggott won the class in convincing style.

Edwards Wins First-Ever Puissance

Saturday evening, the 2nd of July, nine riders lined-up for the Bolesworth eVetDrug CSI3* Puissance, where first-timers Mark Edwards with Montreuxs Tale took the win jumping to an impressive 2.19m. “It was the first time for both of us. A new experience, and what a way to do it. This horse has jumped Nations Cups and he won the Queen’s Cup last year. He’s a really good Grand Prix horse,” said Edwards.
