Martyn Johnson, Event Director for Defender Burghley Horse Trials, talks to Rupert Bell about the success of Burghley 2023 and the bid to host the 2026 FEI Eventing World Championships on the Burghley Estate
The very first FEI Eventing World Championship was held at Burghley in 1966 and “We want to bring the Worlds back to Britain” says Martyn who will present their case to the FEI and stakeholders in two weeks’ time in Lausanne, Switzerland
Three countries are shortlisted for the FEI Eventing World Championships with Aachen (GER) bidding for the complete World Equestrian Games and Boekelo (NED), like Burghley, has bid for the Eventing World Championship as an individual discipline
The FEI will announce the allocations for the FEI World Championships 2026 at its Board Meeting on 18 November 2023 in Mexico City.
