Simon Bates, owner of The College Equestrian Centre in Bedfordshire
It has been a busy winter for Simon Bates and his team at The College Equestrian Centre at Keysoe
As well as running events three days a week during the year, plenty goes on during the eventing ‘out of season’ winter months and the well-known venue at Keysoe has had new arena surfaces laid, a new cross country schooling area with drainage throughout, a new (MASSIVE!) water complex and, to top it all off, they were rewarded with International status in the recent British Eventing allocations
Thei first British Eventing fixture of 2019, Keysoe (1) takes place from 4th - 6th May
We popped into Keysoe on a rare day when competition wasn’t on and caught up with Simon Bates to find out more
