William Fox-Pitt has joined Michael Jung in equal first place at Burghley and Sam Griffiths is once again in third as the riders head into what is generally agreed as the toughest cross country ever seen here
Warren Lamperd last rode at Burghley in 1999 but this year he is back at 4* level – we caught up with him after dressage to talk about his expectations at the 2015 Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials
The dressage phase of eventing is all about the how well horse and rider ‘dance’ together but we show how this synchronisation can be seen, even before the competition begins, at the first horse inspection
Two first timers from Germany and a past winner from Australia make up the top three after the first day of dressage at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials
“We make a little plan but in the end it’s the horses that make the plan” says Michael Jung of fischerRocana FST and La Biosthetique Sam FBW that have competed at Kentucky, Luhmuhlen and now Burghley CCI4* this year
