Seven things we love about The Dodson & Horrell Bolesworth International Horse show

From the beautiful backdrop to top class competition, there’s so much to get excited about ahead of Bolesworth International’s 2021 extravaganza

If you’re anything like us, by now you’re itching to get back out to spectate at a horsey event. Is there anything better than watching some of the world’s best horse and rider combinations jump their socks off over a tough course in the sunshine? After more than a year’s worth of lockdowns and restrictions, we’re not convinced there is.

If you’re looking to plan your next horsey venture, may we heartily recommend Bolesworth International (7–11 July)? Nestled in gorgeous Cheshire countryside on the beautiful Bolesworth Estate, this five-day summer event is definitely worth a trip. With elite and amateur showjumping and so much more to see, Bolesworth is definitely one to circle in your calendar. Still not convinced? Here are seven more things we love about this spectacular show that we’re certain will have you booking your tickets.

1. Fabulous young horses

Bolesworth is the place to witness the equine superstars of tomorrow. With daily young horse classes, plus six- and seven-year-old finals, it’s the perfect place to talent-spot and get future showjumping stars firmly on your radar.

2. Variety performance

Switch up your day’s entertainment by checking out Britain’s finest native pony showing and the ride and drive and showing classes on offer.

3. Do your show day in style

Whether you’re looking to network or are ready to dance the night away, tailor your perfect Bolesworth experience from the range of hospitality packages on offer. Share great food and good times with the best company.

4. Lap up the scenery

Your Bolesworth passes are the golden ticket to the beautiful Bolesworth estate, whose vast and picturesque parklands make for the most beautiful backdrops for photo opportunities galore. You’ll spend your day in a visual paradise!

5. Bring your pooch

No need to find a pet sitter – dogs go free at Bolesworth so your four-pawed pal can have a fun day out, too!

6. World-class names

It’s not every day you see the likes of Scott Brash and John Whitaker trot by – let alone witness them doing what they do best. The International Arena draws some of showjumping’s biggest names, so you’re bound to spot plenty of famous faces while you’re there.

7. Soak up the atmosphere

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been missing the buzz of an exciting large-scale outdoor show. With restrictions eased and plenty of covid-secure measures in place, you can be sure to safely enjoy an unforgettable day. It’s the perfect welcome back to equestrian sport!
