With a full field of 64 horses riding dressage at Burghley this year, it gave us a great opportunity to pick out some numbers to track. For number nerds such as the EN writers, there’s no greater pleasure than crunching numbers and putting them into some visually appealing graphics for you to enjoy.
We’ll have a follow-up numbers posts with some statistics from today’s cross country, but in the meantime enjoy these stats from the first phase of Burghley competition!

17 helmets vs. 47 top hats were seen at Burghley this year.
