Kingswood Equestrian Centre

14/06/2026

A dreadfully sad week for the equestrian world as we lose two of its true gentlemen: Olympic dressage judge Stephen Clarke and Olympic course designer Bob Ellis.

Both played pivotal roles in our sport over many decades, including their involvement with the London Olympics. Bob built courses for us here at Kingswood many years ago, while Stephen judged and delivered clinics at Kingswood until relatively recently.

What united them was their unwavering passion for equestrian sport, their generosity in sharing their knowledge, and their seemingly endless good nature. Both gave so much to the sport they loved and inspired countless riders, officials, and enthusiasts along the way.

They will be very sadly missed, and we extend our sincere condolences to their families, friends, and all those whose lives they touched through the sport.

Rest in peace, Stephen and Bob. Thank you for everything you gave to our sport.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered over the last few weeks here for the BD UKCC level 3 coaches assessments. Without your help these days would not go ahead.
We’ve had amazing riders and horses, lots of learning and fun.
So if you’ve not yet volunteered for one of these days lookout for some in your area soon and book in.

Had a fab morning being a guinea pig rider at advanced medium for a group of BDCC (Ukcc) Level 3 dressage coaches taking their final assessment. It’s so good to be able to help support the development of the future coaches for our sport 🐴🤩
