โ€œI have been show jumping there all my life and they do some great shows there and I did even qualify for Hickstead there with this great old show jumping horse of mine and I do like bold heath a very lot. It's a great place.โ€

โ€œI have been coming to Bold Heath EC for years competing my own horses and I now ride there regularly with my university BUCS team. The competitions run are professional and courses to a very high standard. The teaching I have had from Mark (owner) has been fantastic, he pushes you to get the best out of the horse as well as making sure everyone in the lesson is feeling confident. Could not recommend the riding school more- suitable for beginners all the way to experienced riders and they have a great variety of horses. A few of my favourite pics included!โ€

โ€œGreat riding centre, my daughters have recently started competing at the monthly show jumping competitions, we find it such a welcoming and encouraging place. My daughter's confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. The judge allowed her to complete her round even after elimination (cheeky pony) at her first time there! She has now also enjoyed an arena event clinic with Mark last weekend and absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next one! Can't fault the place everyone always leaves happy after a great day out! And the cafe does great food.โ€
