Not even the rain can stop the action as the first day of Bolesworth International gets under way!
Thursday 16 June 2016
It is all systems go on the first full day of action at this year's Bolesworth CSI **** International, with a bumper day of Olympian-starred competitions ahead.
Bolesworth will greet six London 2012 gold medallists on Thursday - Scott Brash, Nick Skelton, Ben Maher, Charlotte Dujardin, Carl Hester and Laura Tomlinson - as showjumping and dressage take centre-stage.
Competitors in the early morning action were greeted by dry weather and superb conditions in both of Bolesworth's all-weather arenas, with a busy schedule ahead and bumper crowds expected.
After a freak rainstorm on Wednesday night, organisers are delighted to announce that all of Thursday's events will go ahead, apart from in the grass Lake Arena, where it is hoped that by preserving the ground on Thursday, it will enable all competitions in the grass arena to run as planned on Friday.
