Looking back through my Burghley Horse Trials photos, has left me with some remarkable memories that were worth noting down. The Land Rover sponsored event is not one I manage to get to as often as I’d like, and this year has proved a golden year – the year Michael Jung came and won it…
The Land Rover Burghley Cross Country Results provided an unexpected reshuffle in so many ways. Both of the joint leaders had problems on cross country leaving them out of serious contention. Michael Jung’s first ride round Burghley ended under the Lion Bridge when he and FISCHERROCANA FST fell at fence 4. He found the funny side of…
The perpetual preparations for The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials all centre on this one day in the calendar that attracts tens of thousands of spectators to witness less that 100 of world’s best cross country riders and horses tackle what many see as the toughest challenges in equestrian sport. The action starts in little…
William Fox-Pitt led the fit back against German domination of the podium after dressage equaling Michael Jung’s leading score of 34.2. The leaderboard continued to shift hourly, and by the end of the day half the top 10 had changed with Sam Griffiths taking 3rd place on Happy Times with a score of 36.8. …
Today’s weather at Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials’ Dressage Day 2 may be a rinse and repeat of yesterday, but as is often the case with big 4-star fields the best horses are often seen on Friday, particularly the afternoon. The shake up in the leaderboard has already started with one half of eventing’s power…
Unsurprisingly Michael Jung holds onto his lead overnight after Burghley Horse Trials Dressage Day 1, having scored 34.2. One of only three to have slipped into the 30’s. He is joined by Andrew Hoy and Rutherglen on 37.8, and his fellow countryman Niklas Bschorer who scored 39.2 with Tom Tom Go 3. Tomorrow should provide a good…
With little risk of anyone overtaking Michael Jung’s, storming lead of 34.2 this afternoon [famous last words] I headed out to look at all the changes on the cross country course this year, and there are a few. I have to confess I didn’t walk the whole course or even walk it in the right…
Dressage has kicked off for the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials 2015! Chris Burton opened the early bidding with a convincing performance on Haruzac to lead the first few through on a score of 41.2. Matt Ryan teased Chris as he left the arena about his record at Burghley having never completed to date, but…
I love the UK in September – Burghley, Blenheim, and this year the bonus of the Europeans at Blair. After several intense weeks running around with work and children and work and children and work, I’m thoroughly looking forward to the serenity and calm surroundings of the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials 2015 with 2…
With only 6 points separating the top 10, and a much needed clear run over tomorrow’s Land Rover Burghley cross country course, the current leader Simone Deitermann, has quite a task ahead of her if she is to maintain her lead. A fast clear round, even with a few time faults should still aid her…
