Emily Llwellyn produced a lovely test with Pardon Me II at his third Burghley to take an early lead as we go into the coffee break on Thursday morning. Although the crowds are quite small, they are always knowledgeable here at Burghley and the atmosphere in the arena is quite electric; add to that the cool temperatures and a few horses were fairly tense. Andrew Nicholson kept the lid on Calico Joe very well for a score of 53.
and his kiwi team mate, Burghley first timer Lucy Jackson did a beautiful test on Willy Do with just a few bobbles to score one penalty better
Swedish rider Dag Albert brought an entourage into the collecting ring but seemed happy with Tubber Rebel’s test
and here’s Irish Team chef Ginny Eliot going over Louise Lyons’ test with her afterwards
Mark Kyle’s brother John predicted this week on the Eventing Radio Show that Step in Time wouldn’t lead the dressage phase, but Mark rode a tactful test on his loyal partner, and I’m looking forward to seeing them go cross country on saturday.
Lots more dressage to come, find results here, thanks for joining the Eventing Nation, Go Burghley Three Day Eventing!
