Izzy Taylor and Monkeying Around
Read our full report from across the classes on Thursday at Burgham International
Izzy Taylor set a new record today for the best CCI4*-S dressage test ever performed at Burgham International Horse Trials. Irish statistics company EquiRatings confirmed that her score of 21.2 on Monkeying Around beats the previous record of 22.4, set by Gemma Tattersall (Chico Bella P) in 2015.
Nine-year-old Monkeying Around, who is owned by Izzy and Mark Sartori, won the six-year-old class at the young horse world championships at Le Lion d’Angers, France, in 2017.
Izzy said: “He was super today - he’s getting stronger and more rideable, so I can be a bit ‘braver’ in the arena on him, and there’s still loads more to come from him.
“Burgham’s team have done an amazing job to get this event running, and the number and the calibre of riders here speaks for itself.”
Izzy leads CCI4*-S section M ahead of Oliver Townend on Tregilder (22.9) and Tom Jackson on Bahira M (25.2)
