Nina said: "Four days of truly world-class International showjumping finished on Sunday evening at the Bolesworth International. The week had started with unprecedented rainfall on the evening of Wednesday, June 15, which resulted in temporary flash flooding of the event site. Firstly, I would like to extend my thanks to the whole team at Bolesworth who worked tirelessly round the clock, primarily to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the 800 horses on site, which throughout the week has been our absolute priority at all times. But secondly, I would like to thank all involved with our incredible event, and the support and understanding they gave us throughout the five days."
